Swiss Army Romance
D#Sleep with all the lA#ights on.
You're not so hFappy.
You're not secG#ure.
D#You're dying to look cute in your bA#lue jeans,
but you're plastic just like Feveryone.
You're just like G#everyone.
And that fD#ace you paint is preA#ssed
impressing mFost of us as pG#ermanent
and D#I'd like to sA#ee you uFndonG#e.
---REPEAT CHORDS FOR THE REST OF THE SONG---
College night will draw the crowds.
Dorms unload & your heading out.
Here is your moment to shine.
Making up a history.
It's nothing from the life you lead
but man, will they buy all your lines.
Sleep with all the sheets off
bearing your mattress
bearing your soul.
And you're dying to look smooth with your tattoos
but you're searching just like everyone
could be anyone.
And the friends that you have are the best
impressing most of us as permanent
and I'd like to see you undone.
Youth's the most unfaithful mistress.
Still we forge ahead to miss her.
Rushing our moment to shine.
Making up a history,
It's nothing from the life you lead
but man will they buy all your lines.
We're not twenty-one,
but the sooner we are,
the sooner the fun will begin,
so get out your fake eyelashes, 
and fake i.d's,
& real disasters ensue,
it's cool to take these chances.
It's cool to fake romances
& grow up fast.

College night will draw the crowds.

Dorms unload & your heading out.

Here is your moment to shine.

Making up a history.

It's nothing from the life you lead

but man, will they buy all your lines.

Sleep with all the sheets off

bearing your mattress

bearing your soul.

And you're dying to look smooth with your tattoos

but you're searching just like everyone

could be anyone.

And the friends that you have are the best

impressing most of us as permanent

and I'd like to see you undone.

Youth's the most unfaithful mistress.

Still we forge ahead to miss her.

Rushing our moment to shine.

Making up a history,

It's nothing from the life you lead

the sooner the fun will begin,

so get out your fake eyelashes,
