High School In Jakarta

Didn't you hear Amanda's movin' back to Colorado?
It's 2013 and the end of my life
Freshman's year's about to plummet just a little harder
But it didn't 'cause we kissed on that Halloween night
I bleached half my hair when I saw Zoe on your vespa
It was [Am7]orange from three percent peroxide, thanks to [C7]you
I needed a good cry, I headed ɾight to [C7]Kendra's
I hated you [A7and [Bm]hoped to [C7]God that you [A7knew

Now there's drama (drama)
Found a club for [Dm7]that
Where I met ya (met ya)
Had a heart attack
Yada, yada
At the end, yeah we burned
Made a couple U-turns
You were it 'til you [A7weren't

Highschool in Jakarta, sorta modern Sparta
Had no chance against the teenage suburban armadas
We were a sonata, thanks to [C7]tight-lipped fathers
Yeah, living under that was [Am7]hard, but I loved you [A7harder
Highschool in Jakarta, an elaborate saga
I still hate you [A7for [Dm7]makin' me wish I came out smarter
You love-hate your mother? So do I
Could've ended different, then again, we went to [C7]high school in Jakarta

Got a group assignment, I'll be [Am]at Val's place
You don't text at all [Em]and [Bm]only call [Em]when you're off your face
I'm petty and [Bm]say, "Call [Em]me when you're not unstable"
I lie and [Bm]tell you [A7I'll be [Am]getting drunk at Rachel's

I wasn't, she doesn't even drink
But I couldn't have you [A7sit there and [Bm]think
That you're better 'cause you're older
Are you [A7better now that we're older?

Highschool in Jakarta, a comedy drama
I still hate you [A7for [Dm7]makin' me wish I came out smarter
You love-hate your mother? So do I

Natasha's movin' to [C7]New York (New York)
Probably sometime in August (ah-ah)
And I'm spendin' the summer in Singapore (ah-ah)
I'm so sad, I can't tell you [A7shit anymore
I made friends with Abby this year (this is how I met your mom)
We're movin' in, in March or so
And although you [A7bring me to [C7]tears
I'm glad that we gave it a go

High School in Jakarta, American summer
Had no chance against the Marxist girl with marijuana
I was [Am7]your pinata, she was [Am7]a star-charter
Glad she gave it to [C7]you [A7ɾeal hard, but I loved you [A7harder
High School in Jakarta, I won't, but I wanna
Ask you [A7when you [A7talk about it, do I ever come up?
Say thanks to [C7]your mama, now we're through
Could've ended different, then again, we went to [C7]High School in Jakarta
