VERSE:
 DbDb   EbmEbm    Fm7Fm7     F#F# F#F#
See the lonely man there on the corner,
 DbDb    EbmEbm    Fm7Fm7    F#F#
What he's waiting for, I don't know,
DbDb   EbmEbm  Fm7Fm7 F#F# F#F#
But he waits everyday now.
DbDb     EbmEbm     Fm7Fm7    F#F#
He's just waiting for someone to show.


CHORUS:
F#F#          DbDb F#F#
And nobody knows him,

And nobody cares,
         EbmEbm
'Cos there's no hiding place,
      AbmAbm      DbDb EbmEbm
There's no hiding place - for you.


VERSE:
DbDb   EbmEbm    Fm7Fm7 F#F# F#F#
Looking everywhere at no one,
DbDb    EbmEbm     Fm7Fm7     F#F#
He sees everything and nothing at all - oh.
DbDb   EbmEbm  Fm7Fm7   F#F# F#F#
When he shouts nobody listens,
DbDb     EbmEbm Fm7Fm7     F#F#
Where he leads no one will go - oh.

VERSE:
DbDb   EbmEbm    Fm7Fm7     F#F# F#F#
He's a lonely man, there on the corner,
 DbDb    EbmEbm    Fm7Fm7    F#F#
What he's waiting for, I don't know,
DbDb   EbmEbm  Fm7Fm7 F#F# F#F#
But he waits everyday now.
  DbDb     EbmEbm     Fm7Fm7     F#F#
And He's just waiting for something to show - oh.


CHORUS:
F#F#        DbDb F#F#
Nobody knows him,

And nobody cares,
         EbmEbm
'Cos there's no hiding place,
      AbmAbm        BB   DbDb
There's no hiding place - for you and me


BREAK:
    BbmBbm        DbDb
Are we just like all the rest,
    BB          EbmEbm
We're looking too hard for something he's got
  BbmBbm         DbDb
Or moving too fast to rest.
      BbmBbm           DbDb
But like a monkey on your back you need it.
      BB         DbDb
But do you love it enough to leave it - ah.


VERSE:
DbDb      EbmEbm    Fm7Fm7     F#F# F#F#
Just like a lonely man, there on the corner,
 DbDb    EbmEbm    Fm7Fm7    F#F#
What he's waiting for, I don't know, - oh
DbDb   EbmEbm  Fm7Fm7 F#F# F#F#
But he waits everyday now.
DbDb     EbmEbm     Fm7Fm7     F#F#
He's just waiting for something to show - oh.

But he's there everyday now.
