Chords with lyrics

• Difficulty: Beginner

Chorus 1:

    G+G
She waits
     C majorC    G+G
For her time to come
     C majorC    G+G     D MajorD     C majorC
For the world to hum on a different note


    G+G
He waits
     C majorC   G+G
For every Friday night
      C majorC   G+G        D MajorD   C majorC
To whet his appetite and take the antidote
E minorEm             C majorC    G+G
Ain’t it something how the night can shine
     C majorC    G+G        D MajorD    C majorC
While you stand in line behind the velvet rope
E minorEm             C majorC    G+G
Ain’t it something when the morning comes
   C majorC    G+G       D MajorD    C majorC
And desire becomes a little spec of hope

Verse 1:

Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
 C majorC               Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Somebody told her she was beautiful
C majorC             Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Every time she turned around
C majorC                    Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
But when she opened up her mouth to speak
C majorC              Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
It clearly didn’t make a sound
Cadd9Cadd9              Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Somebody told her she was dangerous
C majorC                     Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
And she should watch the way that she dressed
C majorC                    Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
That always seemed a little strange to her
C majorC
And at her worst she did her best

Chorus 1:

    G+G
She waits
     C majorC    G+G
For her time to come
     C majorC    G+G     D MajorD     C majorC
For the world to hum on a different note
    G+G
He waits
     C majorC   G+G
For every Friday night
      C majorC   G+G        D MajorD   C majorC
To whet his appetite and take the antidote
E minorEm             C majorC    G+G
Ain’t it something how the night can shine
     C majorC    G+G        D MajorD    C majorC
While you stand in line behind the velvet rope
E minorEm             C majorC    G+G
Ain’t it something when the morning comes
   C majorC    G+G       D MajorD    C majorC
And desire becomes a little spec of hope

Verse 2:
Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
C majorC                Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Somebody told him you’re a man now
C majorC                Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Hide your tears behind your fists
C majorC                  Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
There’s nothing left to understand now
C majorC                  Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
You’ll keep your tension in your wrist
Cadd9Cadd9                Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
And so he stepped out in the real world
C majorC              Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
And didn’t know to ask for help
C majorC              Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Until he stumbled on a real girl
C majorC
And she’d been down the road herself

Chorus 2:

    G+G
He waits
    C majorC   G+G
For the end to start
      C majorC     G+G
For her to break his heart
      D MajorD    C majorC
To hear the truth at last
    G+G
She waits
     C majorC    G+G
For the sun to rise
       C majorC    G+G
Behind his midnight eyes
       D MajorD     C majorC
And know the storm had passed
E minorEm             C majorC    G+G
Ain’t it something how the night can shine
    C majorC     G+G        D MajorD    C majorC
Threw a bottle of wine against the bedroom wall
E minorEm             C majorC     G+G
Ain’t it something when her eyes light up
     C majorC    G+G         D MajorD      C majorC
And it’s exactly enough and you can let yourself fall

Bridge:

D MajorD               A minorAm         E minorEm
They moved together through a thousand little storms
D MajorD             A minorAm
Somehow the big one never came
D MajorD             A minorAm        E minorEm
Used all their anger up to keep each other warm enough
D MajorD               A minorAm
Now every dark cloud looks the same
