Prom Theme Chris Collingwood and Adam Schelsinger
Fountains of Wayne from "Utopia Parkway"
B G#m7
Here we are at last. The moment soon will pass
C#m7 Em
We'll go our separate ways. We'll vanish in the haze
B G#m7
We'll never be the same. We'll forget each other's names.
C#m7 Em
We'll grow old and lose our hair. It's all downhill from there.
E Em B Em B
But tonight we'll reach for the stars. We'll rent expensive cars
F# Cm7 F# C#m7
And dream our dreams of a perfect night
F# E-5 E B
And we'll sing our prom theme
E-5 E Em B

(The break is an instrumental with heavy strings that is basically a repeat of
the verse and chorus but goes off on a discordant tangent at one point, then
comes back to...)
B G#m7
Here we are at last. We're running out of gas.
C#m7 Em
The air is getting thick. The girls are getting sick.
B G#m7
We'll pass out on the beach, our keys just out of reach.
C#m7 Em
And soon we'll say goodbye, then we'll work until we die.
E Em B Em B
But tonight we feel like we're stars. We'll play our air guitars
F# C#m7 F# C#m7
'cause we're eighteen. It's a perfect night
F# E-5 E B
to sing our prom theme.
E-5 E Em B
END
(I'm not sure if E-5 is the right name for that chord. It's an E with a regular
fifth and a flatted fifth, first four strings only 0-2-2-3)
