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.

 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.

 and grow up fast.
