Am F

Watching girls go passing by

G C

It ain't the latest thing

G G7 C

I'm just standing in a doorway

G G7 C C G Am

I'm just trying to make some sense


Am F

Out of these girls go passing by

G C

The tales they tell of men

G G7 C

I'm not waiting on a lady

G G7 C C G Am

I'm just waiting on a friend


Am F

A smile relieves a heart that grieves

G C

Remember what I said

I'm not waiting on a lady

G G7 C F

I'm just waiting on a friend
