Here we are at last. The moment soon will pass
We'll go our separate ways. We'll vanish in the haze
We'll never be the same. We'll forget each other's names.
We'll grow old and lose our hair. It's all downhill from there.
But tonight we'll reach for the stars. We'll rent expensive cars
And dream our dreams of a perfect night
And we'll sing our prom theme
(The break is an instrumental with heavy strings that is basically a repeat of
the verse and chorus but goes off on a discordant tangent at one point, then
comes back to...)
Here we are at last. We're running out of gas.
The air is getting thick. The girls are getting sick.
We'll pass out on the beach, our keys just out of reach.
And soon we'll say goodbye, then we'll work until we die.
But tonight we feel like we're stars. We'll play our air guitars
'cause we're eighteen. It's a perfect night
to sing our prom theme.
END
(I'm not sure if E-5 is the right name for that chord. It's an E with a regular
fifth and a flatted fifth, first four strings only 0-2-2-3)
