Verse 1
Am                      C
I used to know you when you were young
F                  C     E
You were in all my dreams
Am                 C
We sat together in period one
F                   C   E
Fridays at eight-fifteen
Am                         C
Now I see your face in the strangest places
F              C    E
Movies and magazines
Am                   C
I saw you talking to Christopher Walken
F        C
On my TV screen

Chorus
    F               C
But I will wait for you
   F                Em  G
As long as I need to
           Am               C
And if you ever get back to Hackensack
F                C
I'll be here for you

Verse 2
Am                  C
I used to work in a record store
F                 C  E
Now I work for my dad
Am                        C
Scraping the paint of the hardwood floors
F                    C  E
The hours are pretty bad
Am                       C
Sometimes I wonder where you are now
F            C E
Probably in LA
Am                     C
That seems to be where everybody
F                  C
Else ends up these days

Chorus
    F               C
And I will wait for you
   F                Em  G
As long as I need to
           Am               C
And if you ever get back to Hackensack
F                C
I'll be here for you

And if you ever get back to Hackensack
F                C
I'll be here for you
           Am               C
And if you ever get back to Hackensack
F                C
I'll be here for you
