F#GABm
There`s a girl that lives in the shadows
F#GABm
Of the street where the music plays
F#GABm
There she waits and looks from the outside
F#GABm
There`s an angel in her face
F#GABm
But from her glass she sips a little comfort
F#GDBm
From the boys she takes a little more
F#GABm
And she knows just how far she can take it
F#GDBm
In a moment she`s out on the floor

F#GABm
In her eyes they thought they saw a question
F#GABm
Maybe she is looking their way

As the night gets older are they wiser
F#GABm
Who will take her No-one can say
F#GABm
Does she know just how they feel about her
F#GDBm
Can`t she see she`s driving them insane
F#GABm
Could it be she doesn`t even notice
