teenage nightmare!

G B7 C Cm

I thought I’d die at seventeen
So why am I afraid
To accept I’m not perfectly
My dreams from seventh grade

I’m making up some fantasies
To stop the bills I pay
Cause’ once I move on mentally
I’ve slept my youth away

Tell me what’s wrong
With the world
Cause’ I’ve been turned
So cynical

Someone call mom
Life just hurts
And I need
Some medical

Can somebody please hear me when I say the pretty lies
That nothing ever matters and someday we’re gonna die
So I guess I’ll be your teenage nightmare

Your teenage nightmare (oh oh)

Hey little boy you wasted all your life
Trying to be best in class and now you’re out of time
Gonna drink away this feeling that these golden years have been a f*cked up lie

Wanna runaway and live the life I missed
I’ve been searching for that feeling of eternal bliss
Look at this high achiever turn into a self-loathing narcissist

It’s the last prom
And I’m queen of
Land of broken dreams

Give me my crown
And I’ll sleep
Till’ the edge of seventeen

Society f*cked all my dreams and made me feel so small
Don’t ever think I’ll move on from these broken high school halls
So I guess I’ll be your teenage nightmare

Your teenage nightmare (oh oh)

Hey! I burn everything I that touch
And I still don’t know how to self-love
And I think I’m insane but ain’t that the f*cking world

Hey! And by the time I grow old
We’ll be f*cked and ready to blow
So might as well go insane and blow our brains while we can

Teenage dreams are make believe when nothings real at all
Virginity and sanity I lost them in the fall
So I guess I’m be your teenage nightmare

Your teenage nightmare (oh oh)
