[Chords] G 320033 Bm x13321 A x02220 E7/G# 420100 D xx0121 [Intro] G Bm A x4 [Verse]
 G      Bm      A 
   Back - stage at a musty theater

 G               Bm        A 
   The smell of paint and passed down costumes

 G         Bm           A 
   A thick    curtain blocks out the harsh light

 G       Bm   A 
   And she’s waiting

 G      Bm   A 
   And he’s waiting

 G             Bm       A 
   She settles in to a seat of red velvet

 G             Bm            A 
   Among her friends in the balcony

 G            Bm           A 
   The house dims and the band begins to play

 G           Bm  A 
   And he’s wait-ing

 G            Bm  A 
   And she’s wait-ing
[Pre-chorus]
       G   Bm   A  
And he al-ways said

           G     Bm      A 
He would play it in his head

      G  Bm  A
For eter-ni-ty

        G 
That’s me
[Chorus]
          Bm             G               D     A 
But they won’t really remember this in twenty years

     Bm               G             D            A 
And time, time has a way of drying most of your tears

                  G 
But they linger still

          E7/G#
They are fossils

   D                   A               G 
Un-earthed in the excavation of san mateo
[Interlude] G Bm A x2 [Verse]
 G       Bm           A 
   A carpool heading for the movies

 G          Bm        A 
   And the carl’s jr late at night

 G        Bm        A 
   Nobody asked us to the dances

 G            Bm  A 
   But we’re wait-ing

 G              Bm      A 
   One hurtles down the el camino

 G               Bm        A 
   One’s in the path of a coming train

 G               Bm       A 
   One couldn’t tell us who he really was

 G           Bm  A 
   And he’s wait-ing

 G       Bm  A 
   He’s wait-ing
[Chorus]
          Bm             G               D     A 
But they won’t really remember this in twenty years

     Bm               G             D            A 
And time, time has a way of drying most of your tears

                  G 
But they linger still

          E7/G#
They are fossils

   D                   A               G 
Un-earthed in the excavation of san mateo...
[Bridge]
 A         G         E7/G#    A
La, la la la, la la la, la la la, la la

 Bm        G         E7/G#     G
La, la la la, la la la, la la la-a-a
[Instrumental] G Bm A x2 [Verse]
 G            Bm          A 
   A promise made under the gazebo

 G          Bm             A 
   On the shores of the marina lagoon

 G                Bm         A 
   To swear we’d never lose touch after high school

 G        Bm  A 
   Still wait-ing

 G        Bm  A 
   Still wait-ing
[Pre-chorus]
       G   Bm   A 
And he al-ways said

           G     Bm      A 
He would play it in his head

      G   Bm   A 
For eter- ni- ty

        G 
That’s me
[Chorus]
          Bm             G               D     A 
But they won’t really remember this in twenty years

     Bm               G             D            A 
And time, time has a way of drying most of your tears

                  G 
But they linger still

          E7/G# 
They are fossils

   D                   A               G
