'The Swiss Army Romance' by Dashboard Confessional - Guitar Tutorial

            i was looking long and hard for this song but didnt find it here. so i decided
to take matters into my own hands. some of the chord names are made up because
i dont know the real names...but if you use the 'chord key' that i'm putting
here, it will all make sense. 

questions, comments, insults, email me guitaristwithastockingcap@hotmail.com
peace out, acj

Sleep with all the lights on.

You're not so happy.
             A
You're not secure.
E                                 A2
You're dying to look cute in your blue jeans,
           F#
but you're plastic just like everyone.
                 A
You're just like everyone.
E                          A2
And that face you paint is pressed
           F#            A
impressing most of us as permanent
    E           A2      F#    A
and I'd like to see you un----done.
E*                 D*
College night will draw the crowds.

Dorms unload & your heading out.
E*           D*        C#       B
Here is your moment to shine.

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

E                  A2
Sleep with all the sheets off
             F#
bearing your mattress
             A
bearing your soul.
           E                              A2
And you're dying to look smooth with your tattoos
          F#
but you're searching just like everyone
    A
you could be anyone.
        E                             A2
And the friends that you have are the best
           F#            A
impressing most of us as permanent
    E           A2      F#    A
and I'd like to see you un----done.
E*                 D*
Youth's the most unfaithful mistress.
C#                   B
Still we forge ahead to miss her.
E*          D*        C#        B
Rushing our moment to shine.

E*          D*
Making up a history.

It's nothing from the life you lead
    E*             D*            C#     B
but man, will they buy all your lines.

E         A     F#     A2
 We're not twenty-one,
         E         A
 but the sooner we are,
     F#            A2
 the sooner the fun will begin,
E          A       F#     A
 so get out your fake eyelashes,
         E    A
 and fake ID's,
         F#      A2
 and real disasters ensue,
E         A       F#      A
 it's cool to take these chances.
E         A       F#   A2
 It's cool to fake romances
E      A        F#     A2
 and grow up fast
E      A        F#     A2
 and grow up fast.
E      A        F#     A2
 and grow up fast.
E      A        F#     A2        end on: E
 and grow up fast.
