[Verse]

A                                                
Didn’t you hear 

Amanda’s moving back to Colorado? 
    A
It’s 2013 & the end of my life
  F#m                                   
Freshman year’s about to plummet just a 
                      F#m
Little harder but it didn’t cause 

we kissed on that Halloween night
 
 
[Verse]

  A                                                   
I bleached half my hair when 

I saw Zoe on your Vespa, 
      A
It was orange from 3% peroxide, 

Thanks to you
  F#m                                           
I needed a good cry, 

I headed right to Kendra’s, 
   F#m
I hated you and I hoped to 

God that you knew
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]

            A
Now there’s drama (drama), 

Found a club for that
            A
Where I met ya (met ya), 

Had a heart attack
         F#m
Yadda yadda, at the end, 

Yeah we burned
         F#m
Made a couple U-turns, 

You were it til you weren’t
 
 
[Chorus]

D                       D
  High school in Jakarta, 

Sorta modern Sparta
A                          A
  Had no chance against the teenage suburban armadas
Bm                 Bm
  We were a sonata, thanks to 

Tight-lipped fathers
F#m                             
Yeah living under that was hard,
E
 But I loved you harder
D                       D
  High school in Jakarta, 

An elaborate saga
A                       A
  I still hate you for making me wish 

I came out smarter
Bm                     Bm
  You love/hate your mother, 

So do I
         F#m                        
Could’ve ended different, then again 
    E
We went to high school in Jakarta
 
 
[Verse]

A                     
Got a group assignment, 

I’ll be at Vall’s place, 
A
You don’t text at all and only call 

when you’re off your face
    F#m                                               
I’m petty and say, 

“Call me when you’re not unstable”, 
   F#m
I lie and tell you 

I’ll be getting drunk at Rachel’s
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]

    A
I wasn’t, She doesn’t even drink
          A
But I couldn’t have you 

Sit there and think
            F#m
That you’re better, 

Cause you’re older
         D
Are you better, 

Now that we’re older?
 
 
[Chorus]

D                       D

New York (New York), 

Probably sometime in August
F#m                                       
  And I’m spending the summer in Singapore,

I’m so sad I can’t tell you s*it anymore

  I made friends with Abby this year, 

We’re moving in in March or so
    F#m                            
And although you bring me to tears,

I’m glad that we gave it a go

  High school in Jakarta, 

American summer
A                          A
  Had no chance against the Marxist girl with marijuana
Bm                 Bm
  I was your piñata, she was a star-charter
F#m                
Glad she gave it to 
              E
You real hard, but 

I loved you harder

I won’t but I wanna

  Ask you when you talk about it do 

I ever come up?

  Say thanks to your mama, 

Now we’re through
         F#m
