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
