[Verse]

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
G       G7           C
I'm not waiting on a lady
G        G7           C     F
I'm just waiting on a friend
