(Verse 1)
D A Bm
On top for forever
F#m G
A fantasy? Oh no, never
D A
Wait til you hear the chorus girl
(Verse 2)
D A Bm
A snowdrop with sunstroke
F#m G
A love song to make you choke
D A
Wait til you hear the chorus girl
(Chorus 1)
G D
There'll be no waiting limos, no-oh
G D
No cocaine and discos, no-oh
G D A
I gave that all up for the chorus girl
(Verse 3)
D A Bm
Look out of the window
F#m G
The people move down below
D A
Each one is in love with the chorus girl
(Verse 4)
D A Bm
You've tried to ignore her
F#m G
Derided those who adore her
D A
But soon you'll come round to the chorus girl
(Chorus 2)
G D
The poor become wealthy, oh-oh
G D
The sick become healthy, oh-oh
G D A
But don't crucify the chorus girl
(Bridge)
D A Bm
At night all alone
F#m G
With my microphone
D A
I never come close to the chorus girl
(Chorus 3)
G D
I'm waiting for you now, oh-oh
G D
There's nothing to do now, oh-oh
G D A
But save your breath for the chorus girl
(Chorus 4)
G D
I'm waiting for you now (oh-oh)
G D
There's nothing to do now (oh-oh)
G D A
But save your breath for the chorus girl
(Outro)
D A Bm
La la la la la la
F#m G
La la la la la la
D A
La la la la la la la la la
D A Bm
La la la la la la (woah-oh)
F#m G
La la la la la la (woah-oh)
D A
La la la la la la la la la la (oh-oh)...
