Am C
I used to know you when you were young
F C E
You were in all my dreams
Am C
We sat together in period one
F C E
Fridays at eight-fifteen
Am C
Now I see your face in the strangest places
F C E
Movies and magazines
Am C
I saw you talking to Christopher Walken
F C
On my TV screen
F C
But I will wait for you
F G(open) E
As long as I need to
Am C
And if you ever get back to Hackensack
F C
I'll be here for you
Am C
I used to work in a record store
F C E
Now I work for my dad
Am C
Scraping the paint of the hardwood floors
F C E
The hours are pretty bad
Am C
Sometimes I wonder where you are now
F C E
Probably in LA
Am C
That seems to be where everybody
F C E
Else ends up these days
F C
And I will wait for you
F G(open) E
As long as I need to
Am C
And if you ever get back to Hackensack
F C
I'll be here for you
