[Verse 1]
G
Didn’t you hear Amanda’s movin’ back to Colorado?
It’s 2013 and the end of my life
Em
Freshman’s year’s about to plummet just a little harder
But it didn’t ’cause we kissed on that Halloween night
G
I bleached half my hair when I saw Zoey on your vespa
It was orange from three percent peroxide, thanks to you
Em
I needed a good cry, I headed straight to Kendra’s
I hated you and hoped to God you knew now
G
Now it’s drama (Drama), from the club for that
Where I met ya (Met ya), had a heart attack
Em
Got a …
At the end, yeah, we burned
Made a couple u-turns, you w?re with ’til you weren’t
[Chorus]
C G
..High School in Jakarta, sort of modern Sparta
Am
Had no chance against the teenage suburban armadas
Em
We were wishin’ nada, makes it tight like fathers yellin’
D
And that was hard, but I loved you harder
C G
..High School in Jakarta, where… soccer
Am
I still hate you for makin’ me wish I came out smarter
Do you hate your mother? So Do I
Em
Could’ve ended differently then
D
If we didn’t go to High School in Jakarta
[Verse 2]
G
..Got a group assignment, I’ll be in first place
You don’t text at all, and only call when you’re off your face
Em
I’m petty and say “Call me when you’re not unstable”
I lie and tell you I’ll be gettin’ drunk at Rachel’s
G
I wasn’t, she doesn’t even drink
Em
But I couldn’t have you sat there and think that you’re better
‘Cause you’re older
C
Are you better now that we’re older?
[Chorus]
C G
..High School in Jakarta, sort of modern Sparta
Am
Had no chance against the teenage suburban armadas
Em
We were wishin’ nada, makes it tight like fathers yellin’
D
And that was hard, but I loved you harder
C G
..High School in Jakarta, a comedy-drama
Am
I still hate you for makin’ me wish I came out smarter
Do you hate your mother? So Do I
Em
Could’ve ended different then
D
If we didn’t went to High School in Jakarta
[Verse 3]
G
..Natascha’s movin’ to New York (New York)
Probably sometime in August
Em
..And I’m spendin’ the Summer in Singapore
C
I’m so sad, I can’t tell you **** anymore
G
..I made friends with Abby this year
We’re movin’ in, in March or so
Em
And although you bring me to tears
I’m glad we gave it a go
[Chorus]
C G
..High School in Jakarta, American …
Am
Had no chance against the Marks who screened with *********
Em
I was your …, she was just tryna …
D
Glad she gave it to you hard, but I loved you harder
C G
..High School in Jakarta, I won’t, but I wanna
Am
Ask you when you talk about, Do I ever come up?
Say things to your mama, no we’re through
Em
Could’ve ended different then
D G
If we didn’t went to High School in Jakarta
