I used to know you when you were young

You were in all my dreams

We sat together in period one

Fridays at eight-fifteen

Now I see your face in the strangest places

Movies and magazines

I saw you talking to Christopher Walken
G D
On my TV screen

But I will wait for you

Bm D
I used to work in a record store
G D F#
Now I work for my dad
Bm D
Scraping the paint of the hardwood floors
G D F#
The hours are pretty bad
Bm D
Sometimes I wonder where you are now
G D F#
Probably in LA
Bm D
That seems to be where everybody
G D
Else ends up these days

Chorus:
G D
And I will wait for you

I’ll be here for you
