Teenage Alien Nation Chords & Tabs
This is another drop D song by American Hi-fi from what I can tell, and I hope
it's all right. You could probably play it in standard tuning with the open
power chords as just a mute, but see what you think when playing it.

well that should be most of the song, the solo may be a little off but most
of the actual song seem about right.

Lyrics (www.azlyrics.com)
I want it all
No matter what thought you heard me say
No matter what you know you can’t escape today
………
So what if you don’t like me
I don’t give a fuck if you don’t like me
I can change my lock
It seems that I’m rotten to the core
Forget about tomorrow
You and me we’re going down in sorrow
Youth of the nation going nowhere
Station to station
Teenage alien nation (woah)
Teenage alien nation (yeah)
It’s all wrong
I guess that some of us have come and gone
I guess we kinda shudda known it all along
Never going anywhere
Sometimes you gotta pick it up and roll the dice
Your looking back and you don’t think twice
Bout feeling lonely everyday
Forget about tomorrow
You and me we’re going down in sorrow
Youth of the nation going nowhere
Station to station [x3]
Teenage alien nation [x4]
