F C Em Am Em F C Em Am Em
[Verse 1]
F C
I guess we're stuck in this deadbeat place
Em
Where the streets don't change
Am Em
And every day's the same
F C
I wish I could be anywhere new
Em
There's nothing to do but
Am Em
It's better with you
[Pre-Chorus]
F C
This isn't perfect but at least I'm not alone
Em Am Em
It isn't much but hey, at least it feels like home
F C
And when suburbia is all you've ever known
Em Am
Can't stand to stay, can't stand to go
[Chorus]
Em F
And I hate this place
F
I've outgrown these walls
C
Planning my escape
Em
'Cause my world's too small
Am Em
And I just can't wait 'til I graduate
F C Em Am Em
I hate this place
[Verse 2]
F C
I spend my Tuesdays at Dairy Queen
Em Am Em
Live the teenage dream, laughing in my passenger seat
F C
We drive around like there's something to see
Em Am Em
And the people make me forget I wanna leave
[Pre-Chorus]
F C
This isn't perfect but at least I'm not alone
Em Am Em
It isn't much but hey, at least it feels like home
F C
And when suburbia is all you've ever known
Em
Can't stand to stay, can't stand to go
[Chorus]
F
And I hate this place
C
I've outgrown these walls
Em
Planning my escape
Am Em
'Cause my world's too small
And I just can't wait 'til I graduate
F C Em Am
I hate this place
[Bridge]
F C
And if you waste it all dying to go
Em
Then you miss all the moments
Am Em
You'll be missing most
F C
And I'm not begging to do it again
Em Am Em
But I love all my friends and I wrote this for them
[Chorus]
F
'Cause I miss this place
C
And I love these walls
Em
'Cause the world's so big
Am Em
And I feel so small
F
I'll be catching planes
C
And I'm scared of change
Em F C Em Am
But I love this place
[Outro]
C*
I love this place
