Alternative, maybe easier, version:
  • Transpose the chords 4 half steps down [ -4 ]
  • Put a capo on fret 4 to stay in the same key

Dbm                      E           
I used to know you when you were young
A                  E     Ab
You were in all my dreams 
Dbm                 E
We sat together in period one
A                   E   Ab
Fridays at eight-fifteen
Dbm                         E  
Now I see your face in the strangest places
A              E    Ab
Movies and magazines
Dbm                   E
I saw you talking to Christopher Walken
A        E                
On my TV screen


    A               E
But I will wait for you
   A                Abm  B
As long as I need to
           Dbm               E
And if you ever get back to Hackensack
A                E
I'll be here for you


Dbm                  E          
I used to work in a record store
A                 E  Ab
Now I work for my dad
Dbm                        E
Scraping the paint of the hardwood floors
A                    E  Ab
The hours are pretty bad
Dbm                       E  
Sometimes I wonder where you are now
A            E Ab
Probably in la
Dbm                     E
That seems to be where everybody 
A                  E                
Else ends up these days


    A               E
And I will wait for you
   A                Abm  B
As long as I need to
           Dbm               E
And if you ever get back to Hackensack
A                E
I'll be here for you

pov: you have a good taste in music

cummiebby;)

an easier way to play is [Intro]

|C |Am |Em |Em D#m​ |Dm |Dm |Em |Em | x2

[Verse]

C Am
I guess I should stop
Em Dm
Looking out for you
Em
Like I always do
C Am
When will you
Em Dm
Start looking out for me too
Em
Instead of leaving me staring at my shoes
C Am Em
Just the way you’re glancing at me
Dm
Something about you
Em
Just makes me feel guilty for
C Am
Liking you
Em Dm
When you’re with him
Em
When you’re with him

[Chorus]

F Em Dm
This is a love song for a girl
Dm
Who will never know it’s about her
F Em
Know it’s pretty stupid
Dm
But I’m much too shy to tell her
F Em Dm
She’s beaming that smile all the while
F Em G
I’m all tripped up on my own throat

I guess there is no hope

|C |Am |Em |Em D#m​ |Dm |Dm |Em |Em | x2

[Verse]

C Am Em
When you’re walking out in the snow
Dm Em
I say I guess I should go
C Am Em
And we’re talking about someone else
Dm Em
When we should be talking about ourselves
C Am Em
It’s the same old situation you’ve always got me waiting
Dm Em
Come on dear I think times a-wastin’
C Am Em
Before we have to go back inside
Dm Em
And return to our normal lives

[Chorus]

F Em Dm
This is a love song for a girl
Dm
Who will never know it’s about her
F Em
Know it’s pretty stupid
Dm
But I’m much too shy to tell her
F Em Dm
She’s beaming that smile all the while
F Em G
I’m all tripped up on my own throat
G
I guess there is no hope

[Outro]

|C |Am |Em |Em D#m​ |Dm |Dm |Em |Em |
OooooOOooooOOOooo
|C |Am |Em |Em D#m​ |Dm |Dm |Em |Em | C

have fun playing <33 btw strumming pattern is DD UDU 😀

jadaaaaaa

she said this song reminds her of me

matchagirl

may my future boyfriend play this song for me

peepee

I play A7m instead of Dbm, it’s easier and I think it sounds better, its Bm, but two frets down

Katsgi

+3 is alot easier 🙂

Donald turmp shrimp

STUMMING PATTERN????

aabbyy

i like to do +3 with capo on third fret (to stay in key i guess) but instead of using the Ebm chord after Em i like to just slide the Em up the fretboard by 1

aabbyy

i think this actually sounds the most like the song with it transposed @Say what? +3 but with ur capo on 1st fret

Enby ⛥

I’ve been waiting for this song!
