Didn’t you hear Amanda’s moving back to Colorado?

It’s 2013 & the end of my life
  Em                                                  
Freshman year’s about to plummet just a little harder

I bleached half my hair when I saw Zoe on your Vespa, 
      G
it was orange from 3% peroxide, thanks to you
  Em                                             
I needed a good cry, I headed right to Kendra’s, 
  Em
I hated you and I hoped to God that you knew
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
            G
Now there’s drama (drama), found a club for that
            G
Where I met ya (met ya), had a heart attack
         Em
Yadda yadda, at the end, yeah we burned
         Em
Made a couple U-turns, you were it til you weren’t
 
 
[Chorus]

  Had no chance against the teenage suburban armadas
Am                 Am
  We were a sonata, thanks to tight-lipped fathers
Em                             D

Got a group assignment, I’ll be at Vall’s place,

You don’t text at all and only call when you’re off your face
    Em                                                 
I’m petty and say, “Call me when you’re not unstable”, 
  Em
I lie and tell you I’ll be getting drunk at Rachel’s
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
    G
I wasn’t, She doesn’t even drink
          G
But I couldn’t have you sit there and think
            Em
That you’re better, cause you’re older
         C
Are you better, now that we’re older?
 
 
[Chorus]
