Fountains of Wayne - Prom Theme guitar tab

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)
