Bm D
I used to know you when you were young
G D F#
You were in all my dreams
Bm D
We sat together in period one
G D F#
Fridays at eight-fifteen
Bm D
Now I see your face in the strangest places
G D F#
Movies and magazines
Bm D
I saw you talking to Christopher Walken
G D
On my TV screen
----------
Chorus:
G D
But I will wait for you
G F#m(open) A
As long as I need to
Bm D
And if you ever get back to Hackensack
G D
I’ll be here for you
----------
Verse 2
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
G F#m(open) A
As long as I need to
Bm D
And if you ever get back to Hackensack
G D
I’ll be here for you
