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

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

Dm           Am
Try to see it from the other side
Dm           Am
Keep on looking for a place to hide
Dm        Am
You don`t have to tell me
       Dm  Am
It`s easy to find
Dm               Am
If you`re trying to make your dreams come true
Dm         Am
Then just keep on doing what you do
Dm             Am
And if you don`t break the rules
         Dm  Am
It`s going to be fine

  Dm
So I`m just sitting here

Waiting for the dawn to break
Dm
Just sitting here

Waiting for the time it takes
Dm
I`m sitting here
           Dm Am G F G Am
Searching for a clue

watching you

 Dm      Am
Here, this is me
   Dm             Am
I`m living my life through the night constantly
Dm        Am
Or so I`ve been told
 Dm          Am
Hope I can make it before I grow old
Dm        Am
With love on my side
     Dm             Am
I could write you a song that would make your heart fly
Dm        Am
So good for your soul
       Dm
But there`s something about you
    Am
That`s leaving me cold

CHORUS

  Dm
So I`m just sitting here

Waiting for the dawn to break

Searching for a clue

watching you
