E            A      G#m     E
Below a pool table I lie
   A        G#m    E
One night in '99
               A                
Half asleep when that song 
G#m        E
begins
                 A          G#m   
Have to go find out who it is
    E


E                             A  
From the basement of the house 
              G#m
party
E                                 
I crawl up three flights of stairs
              A               G#m
 like half a zombie
E                              A 
People dancing on my hands, I 
                 G#m
demand

E                      
Tell me the name of that 
                  A        G#m    
ridiculously awesome band
          F#m


              E                    
But no one hears me or gives a 
              A
shit.
               C#m           B    
About a stupid boy at the time 
        E
unfit to stand on his two legs
      F#m
And ask politely instead he begs
     A
"Tell me, tell me, tell me!"

 E                        A       
A wasted skater, told me their 
                 G#m
name later
E                            A   
Before this to music I was a 
       G#m
hater
E                             
I had to go and I had to follow 
    A           G#m
through
E                                 
I bought their tapes and soon 
           A       G#m          F#m
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                             
I wish I could have thanked him 
                   F#m
personally
     A
They did so much for me

( E   A   G#m )
