High School In Jakarta Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Didn't you hear Amanda's
movin' back to Colorado?
It's 2013 and the end of my life
Fresh[Em]man's year's about
to plummet just a little harder
But it didn't 'cause we kissed
on that Halloween night
I [G]bleached half my hair when
I saw Zoe on your Vespa
It was orange from three percent peroxide,
thanks to you
[Em]I needed a good cry,
I headed right to Kendra's
I hated you and I hoped to
God that you knew

[Verse 2]
Now there's [G]drama (drama), found
a club for that
Where I met ya (met ya),
had a heart [Em]attack
Yadda, yadda, at the end,
yeah, we burned
Made a couple U- turns,
you were it 'til you [C]weren't, mm

[Verse 3]
High school in Jakarta, sorta
modern [G]Sparta
Had no chance against the teenage
suburban arma[Am]das
We were a sonata,
thanks to tight- lipped fathers
[Em]Yeah, livin' under that was [D]hard,
but I loved you [C]harder
High school in Jakarta, an
elaborate [G]saga
I still hate you for makin' me
wish I came out smarter
[Am]You love- hate your mother,
so do I
Could've [Em]ended different, then again
We [D]went to high school [G]in Jakarta

[Verse 4]
Got a group [G]assignment,
I'll be at Val's place
You don't text at all and only call
when you're off your face
I'm [Em]petty and say,
"Call me when you're not unstable"
I lie and tell you I'll be
getting drunk at Rachel's

[Verse 5]
I was[G]n't, she doesn't even drink
But I couldn't have you sit
there and think
That you're bet[Em]ter
'cause you're older
Are you bet[C]ter now that we're
older[G]?[C]

[Verse 6]
High school [C]in Jakarta, sorta
modern [G]Sparta
Had no chance against the teenage
suburban arma[Am]das
We were a sonata,
thanks to tight- lipped fathers
[Em]Yeah, livin' under that was [D]hard,
but I loved you [C]harder
High school in Jakarta, a
comedy [G]drama
I still hate you for makin' me
wish I came out smarter
[Am]You love- hate your mother,
so do I
Could've [Em]ended different, then again
We [D]went to high school [G]in
Jakarta

[Verse 7]
Natasha's movin' to New [G]York (New York)
Probably sometime in [Em]August (ah)
And I'm spendin' the summer
in Singapore [C](ah)
I'm so sad I can't tell you shit anymore
[G]I made friends with Abby this year (this is how
I met your mom) (oh, my God)
We're movin' in in March or so
And al[Em]though you bring me to tears
I'm glad that we gave it a go
[C]

[Verse 8]
High school in Jakarta, American
[G]summer
Had no chance against the Marxist
girl [Am]with marijuana
I was your pinata, she was a star- charter
[Em]Glad she gave it to you real [D]hard,
but I loved you [C]harder
High school in Jakarta, I won't,
but I wanna
[G]Ask you when you talk about it,
do I ever come [Am]up?
Say thanks to your mama,
now we're through
Could've [Em]ended different, then again
We [D]went to high school in Jakarta

[Outro 1]
