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)

If anyone figures out the break chords, email them to me. Thanks!
