Introduction: E A G#m
E A G#m E
Below a pool table I lie
A G#m E
One night in '99
A G#m E
Half asleep when that song begins
A G#m E
Have to go find out who it is
E A G#m
From the basement of the house party
E A G#m
I crawl up three flights of stairs like half a zombie
E A G#m
People dancing on my hands, I demand
E A G#m F#m
Tell me the name of that ridiculously awesome band
E A
But no one hears me or gives a shit.
C#m B E
About a stupid boy at the time unfit to stand on his two legs
F#m
And ask politely instead he begs
A
"Tell me, tell me, tell me!"
E A G#m
A wasted skater, told me their name later
E A G#m
Before this to music I was a hater
E A G#m
I had to go and I had to follow through
E A G#m F#m
I bought their tapes and soon after I got their tattoo
E
But, by then their voice was dead
A
Living on in my headphones
C#m B
With so much left unsaid
E F#m
I wish I could have thanked him personally
A
They did so much for me
