VERSE 1
********
F# G A Bm
There`s a girl that lives in the shadows
F# G A Bm
Of the street where the music plays
F# G A Bm
There she waits and looks from the outside
F# G A Bm
There`s an angel in her face
F# G A Bm
But from her glass she sips a little comfort
F# G D Bm
From the boys she takes a little more
F# G A Bm
And she knows just how far she can take it
F# G D Bm
In a moment she`s out on the floor
-----------------------
CHORUS

F# G D Bm
Hold on, she`s got to keep a-moving

F# G A Bm
In her eyes they thought they saw a question
F# G A Bm
Maybe she is looking their way
F# G A Bm
As the night gets older are they wiser
F# G A Bm
Who will take her No-one can say
F# G A Bm
Does she know just how they feel about her
F# G D Bm
Can`t she see she`s driving them insane
F# G A Bm
Could it be she doesn`t even notice
F# G Bm
When the music starts playing again
They`re saying
