E5                  A5
Sleep with all the lights on.
              F#5
You're not so happy.
             A5
You're not secure.
E5                                 A5
You're dying to look cute in your blue jeans,
           F#5
but you're plastic just like everyone.
                 A5
You're just like everyone.
E5                          A5
And that face you paint is pressed
           F#5            A5
impressing most of us as permanent
    E5           A5      F#5    A5
and I'd like to see you un----done.
E*                 D*
College night will draw the crowds.
C#5                    B5
Dorms unload & your heading out.
E*           D*        C#5       B5
Here is your moment to shine.


E*          D*
Making up a history.
     C#5               B5
It's nothing from the life you lead
    E*             D*            C#5      B5
but man, will they buy all your lines.


E5                  A5
Sleep with all the sheets off
             F#5
bearing your mattress
             A5
bearing your soul.
           E5                              A5
And you're dying to look smooth with your tattoos
          F#5
but you're searching just like everyone
    A5
you could be anyone.
        E5                             A5
And the friends that you have are the best
           F#5            A5
impressing most of us as permanent
    E5           A5      F#5    A5
and I'd like to see you un----done.
E*                 D*
Youth's the most unfaithful mistress.
C#5                   B5
Still we forge ahead to miss her.
E*          D*        C#5        B5
Rushing our moment to shine.


E*          D*
Making up a history.
     C#5               B5
It's nothing from the life you lead
    E*             D*            C#5     B5
but man, will they buy all your lines.


E5         A5     F#5     A5
 We're not twenty-one,
         E5         A5
 but the sooner we are,
     F#5            A5
 the sooner the fun will begin,
E5          A5       F#5     A5
 so get out your fake eyelashes,
         E5    A5
 and fake ID's,
         F#5      A5
 and real disasters ensue,
E5         A5       F#5      A5
 it's cool to take these chances.
E5         A5       F#5   A5
 It's cool to fake romances
E5      A5        F#5     A5
 and grow up fast
E5      A5        F#5     A5
 and grow up fast.
E5      A5        F#5     A5
 and grow up fast.
E5      A5        F#5     A5        end on: E5
 and grow up fast.
