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 without a 
third and with both a regular fifth and a flatted fifth, first four strings 
only 0-2-2-3)
