[Verse 1]
Bb                                                     Bb
Didn’t you hear Amanda’s moving back to Colorado? It’s 2013 & the end of my life
  Gm                                                         Gm
Freshman year’s about to plummet just a little harder but it didn’t cause we kissed on that Halloween night
 
 
[Verse 2]
  Bb                                                         Bb
I bleached half my hair when I saw Zoe on your Vespa, it was orange from 3% peroxide, thanks to you
  Gm                                               Gm
I needed a good cry, I headed right to Kendra’s, I hated you and I hoped to God that you knew
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
            Bb
Now there’s drama (drama), found a club for that
            Bb
Where I met ya (met ya), had a heart attack
         Gm
Yadda yadda, at the end, yeah we burned
         Gm
Made a couple U-turns, you were it til you weren’t
 
 
[Chorus]
Eb                       Eb
  High school in Jakarta, sorta modern Sparta
Bb                          Bb
  Had no chance against the teenage suburban armadas
Cm                 Cm
  We were a sonata, thanks to tight-lipped fathers
Gm                             F
Yeah living under that was hard, but I loved you harder
Eb                       Eb
  High school in Jakarta, an elaborate saga
Bb                       Bb
  I still hate you for making me wish I came out smarter
Cm                     Cm
  You love/hate your mother, so do I
         Gm                             F
Could’ve ended different, then again we went to high school in Jakarta
 
 
[Verse 3]
Bb                                                Bb
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
    Gm                                                   Gm
I’m petty and say, “Call me when you’re not unstable”, I lie and tell you I’ll be getting drunk at Rachel’s
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
    Bb
I wasn’t, She doesn’t even drink
          Bb
But I couldn’t have you sit there and think
            Gm
That you’re better, cause you’re older
         Eb
Are you better, now that we’re older?
 
 
[Chorus]
Eb                       Eb

  Had no chance against the teenage suburban armadas
Cm                 Cm
  We were a sonata, thanks to tight-lipped fathers
Gm                             F
Yeah living under that was hard, but I loved you harder
Eb                       Eb
  High school in Jakarta, a comedy drama
Bb                       Bb
  I still hate you for making me wish I came out smarter
Cm                     Cm
  You love/hate your mother, so do I
         Gm                             F

  Natasha’s moving to New York (New York), probably sometime in August
Gm                                          Eb
  And I’m spending the summer in Singapore, I’m so sad I can’t tell you shit anymore
Bb                                  Bb
  I made friends with Abby this year, we’re moving in in March or so
    Gm                                  Gm
And although you bring me to tears, I’m glad that we gave it a go

Eb                       Eb
  High school in Jakarta, American summer
Bb                          Bb
  Had no chance against the Marxist girl with marijuana
Cm                 Cm
  I was your piñata, she was a star-charter
Gm                               F
Glad she gave it to you real hard, but I loved you harder
Eb                       Eb
  High school in Jakarta, I won’t but I wanna
Bb                       Bb
  Ask you when you talk about it do I ever come up?
Cm                     Cm
  Say thanks to your mama, now we’re through
         Gm                             F                         N.C.
