[Verse 1]
D
I wanna be an amateur
G
That's what I would like to someday be

I wanna be an amateur

Back like I used to be

Down to my clumsy childhood essence
D
I wanna be
G D G D G
Essentially unfiltered, free

The idea of enemy is not for me

I'm an American

[Verse 3]
D
When you're an amateur
G
You don't have the whole thing preconceived
D
You're flying blind
G
You didn't get a pricey art degree
D
Or if you did, that's fine
G
If you can forget your vocabulary
D
You got wings to fly
G
No sense keeping them folded neatly
D
Take to the sky
G
Let me hear you strain your voice so sweetly
D
You got instinct, you got almond eyes
G
Get your feathers dirty, baby
D G
If you wanna be an amateur

[Outro]
D G
Stick with me
