Fountains of Wayne is an American power pop band, formed in 1995.  The band name was taken from the name of a lawn-ornament store in Wayne, New Jersey, not far from Montclair, New Jersey, the hometown of the band's bassist and cofounder Adam Schlesinger (it has since gone out of business).  The band was formed by Schlesinger and Chris Collingwood. The two first met as freshmen at Williams College and began playing music together in various bands. The two eventually went their separate ways with Collingwood forming the Mercy Buckets in Boston and Schlesinger forming IVY in New York City.

Intro:
G C G D G C G D


Verse:
G           C         G           D
Working all day for a mean little man

       G       C         G      D
With a clip-on tie and a rub-on tan

            Em                 C             D            G
He's got me running 'round the office like a dog around a track

    Em              C                   D               G
But when I get back home, you're always there to rub my back

Chorus:
G   C
Hey Julie,

D                 C
Look what they're doing to me

Em                C
Trying to trip me up

          D       G
Trying to wear me down

G        C           D          C
Julie, I swear, it's so hard to bear it

        Em            C           D       G
And I'd never make it through without you around

        Em            C           D       G
No I'd never make it through without you around


Verse:
G            C            G         D
Hours on the phone making pointless calls

        G            C                 G          D
I got a desk full of papers that means nothing at all

    Em              C    D            G
Sometimes I catch myself staring into space

Em                C            D         G
Counting down the hours 'til I get to see your face

Chorus:
G   C
Hey Julie,

D                 C
Look what they're doing to me

Em                C
Trying to trip me up

          D       G
Trying to wear me down

G        C              D       C
Julie, I swear, it's so hard to bear it

        Em            C            D        G
And I'd never make it through with out you around

        Em            C            D        G
No, I'd never make it through with out you around

Bridge:
Em                 Bm
How did it come to be

                    C
That you and I must be

                   D
Far away from each other every day?

Em                  Bm
Why must I spend my time

              C
Filling up my mind

                            D
With facts and figures that never add up anyway?

     C
They never add up anyway

G C G D G C G D

Verse:
G           C         G           D
Working all day for a mean little guy

       G      C         G            D
With a bad toupee and a soup-stained tie

            Em                 C
He's got me running 'round the office

       D           G
Like a gerbil on a wheel

       Em              C
He can tell me what to do

             D               G
But he can't tell me what to feel

Chorus:
G   C
Hey Julie,

D                 C
Look what they're doing to me

Em                C
Trying to trip me up

          D       G
Trying to wear me down

Julie, I swear, it's so hard to bear it

        Em            C           D       G
And I'd never make it through without you around

        Em            C           D       G
No I'd never make it through without you around

        Em            C           D       G
No I'd never make it through without you around

Verse 1
Dsus2                  A                         Bm 
The clock's running down, the team's losing ground
         G            Dsus2
To the opposing defense
                   A                   Bm 
The young quarterback waits for the snap
                    G
When suddenly it all starts to make sense

Chorus
Dsus2                 A
He's got all kinds of time
                      C
He's got all kinds of time
             G
All kinds of time
Dsus2                 A
He's got all kinds of time
                 C  G
All kinds of time

Verse 2
Dsus2              A                   Bm 
He takes a step back, he's under attack
                  G                     Dsus2
But he knows that no one can touch him now
                   A                   Bm 
He seems so at ease, a strange inner peace
                    G
Is all that he's feeling somehow

Chorus
Dsus2                 A
He's got all kinds of time
                      C

Bm
He looks to the right
               G                 Dsus2            
And there in a golden ray of light
            A
Is his open man
               Bm
Just like he planned
                  G
The whole world is his tonight

All Kinds Of Time

G
There's fire in the canyon
Bm          Em
Rain on the plain
       C             G
and an eerie kind of sadness
       D7      G
on the highway today
       G
Was it driving together
     Bm       Em
That drove us apart
       C            G
Or did we change directions
        D7
chasing arrows and hearts


           Em        D7
We've been wondering alone
         G
Such a long time
Bm           C             G
Lose our way we go town to town
  Em             D7
Believe us to be born
          G                 Em
Into a path straight and narrow
    C           D7              G
On every crooked road we travel down


        G 
And I'm checking out the road signs
Bm      Em
Highway hotels
          C                G
And their air-conditioned cable-ready
D7
Cold padded cells
       G
And we read them like stories
   Bm        Em
In trash magazines
       C            G            D7
But we ain;t really sure what it means


           Em        D7
We've been wondering alone
         G
Such a long time
Bm           C             G
Lose our way we go town to town
  Em             D7
Believe us to be born
          G                 Em
Into a path straight and narrow
    C           D7              G
On every crooked road we travel down



  A
I ride this motorway
      C#m
For a thousand miles a day
         D
'Til the road runs outta black top
      E
Or I will this world away
     A
Each town is steeped in rain
  C#m
And I know each one by name
           D
'Cause this world is wrapped around me
      E7                 A
And I wear it like a chain

Fire In The Canyon

Intro:
A        C#m     Bm     Esus4   E 

         A                                                 
Well she picked me up in a German car
        C#m
and she took me out to an Irish bar
        Bm
where I drank some beer in a plastic cup
       E		D
'til I had some trouble standing up
	     A
And then she drove downtown to a strobe-lit space
     	      C#m
where all the guys wore chains and the thumping bass
    	 Bm
was so intense I could barely feel my face
      E
and I think I asked her back to my place



    F#m	            Bm7
But that's all I recall
           E 		  A
and when I woke up in the hall
       F#m             Bm7
I was alone and softly groaning
       E                 Fdim
and I lost my keys and I lost my phone
       F#m          Bm7
and I wonder what I did or said
     E               A
that I might soon regret
         F#m		Bm7
It was a night I can't remember
	 E                A
with the girl I can't forget   


Repeat intro:
C#m      Bm          Esus4    E


            A
Well I was reeling, watching the ceiling spin
          C#m
the next evening when my friends walked in
            Bm
and when I asked them if they knew where I'd been
            E                          D
they didn't speak at first, they only grinned
            A                     
You see I'm not the type to get in fights
          C#m 
but that might not have been the case last night
              Bm
because they heard that I had a word or two
       E 
with a man who asked, "Is she with you?"


         F#m		    Bm7
And if I took it the wrong way
               E              A
I guess that's not for me to say
          F#m               Bm7
though it seems I may have slipped up
        E                Fdim
when I offered him some grooming tips
        F#m               Bm7
But at least that helps explain
             E             A
the cuts and bruises on my head
         F#m           Bm7
from the night I can't remember
         E            A
with the girl I can't forget


Bridge:
C#m     F#m      Bm     E   C#m

                               F#m
And it's all coming back now   
                               Bm
Don't know how to react now    
				E
Guess I'll let it go
				
I'm not so sure I want to know


           A
Well I was back at work at 9:15
       C#m
when a message popped up on my screen
         Bm
It said, "Pick me up at 8:45
    E
and we can give it one more try"


    F#m               Bm7
And now that I'm with her
                E              A
the whole thing seems a bit absurd
           F#m             Bm7
though she never fails to tell the tale
       E                Fdim
of the time she had to post my bail
        F#m         Bm7
And for giving me a second chance
        E           A
I'm forever in her debt
          F#m              Bm7
since the night I can't remember
          E                        D A D A D A Bm A A6
she's the girl I won't ever forget

Girl I Can't Forget


Em, A, Bm, G, and at the end it goes F# to G.


And then the bridge  is:

A, D, A, D, A, D.  
Then it goes

G, D/F#, A

And then Em, A over the stuck at the hotel majestc bit.

Seatbacks And Tray Tables

Hopeful romantic guy in Hackensack, New Jersey is still pining for the girl who left and made it in Hollywood. He sees her on TV and in magaizines, but he wants her to know, &quot;that if you ever come back to Hackensack, I'll be here for you.&quot;

G      Em
I found a love for me
               C                         D
Darling just dive right in, and follow my lead
                G                 Em
Well I found a girl beautiful and sweet
          C                                  D
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me

                                 G
Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
              Em                     C               G  D
Not knowing what it was, I will not give you up this ti-ime
                   G                         Em
But darling just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
             C                  D
And in your eyes you’re holding mine

       Em   C            G          D              Em
Baby, I’m dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
C                G     D                Em
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
          C                G                 D              Em
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
         C                G        D             
But you heard it, darling you look perfect tonight

               G                    Em
Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
                C                                        D
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I’ll share her home
           G             Em
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
         C                              D
To carry love, to carry children of our own

                              G                     Em 
We are still kids, but we’re so in love, fighting against all odds
                  C               G  D
I know that we’ll be alright this ti-ime

School Friends

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
            F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me

       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories
