   A5                      F5             
   Watchin' girls go passing by 
   G5                          C5  
   It ain't the latest thing   
   G5                          C5              
   I'm just standin' in a doorway 
   G5                                 C5             
   I'm just trying to make some sense   
   

   A5                      F5          
   Out of these girls  passing by,
   G5                       C5
   the tales they tell of men   
   G5                                 C5             
   I'm not waiting on a lady             
   G5                                    C5           
   I'm just waiting on a friend
  

   A5                      F5          
   A smile relieves a heart that grieves, 
   G5                       C5
   remember what I said. 
   G5                                  C5
   I'm not waiting on a lady, 
   G5                                   C5
   I'm just waiting on a friend.

 F5                  C5       F5                   C5  
 just waiting on a friend. I'm just waiting on a friend,

   A5                            F5        
   Don't need a whore, don't need now booze, 
   G5                       C5  
   don't need a virgin priest. 
   G5                                               C5  
   But I need some one I can cry to, 
   G5                                     C5  
   I need someone to protect. 
  

   A5                            F5        
   Ooh, making love and breaking hearts, 
   G5                             C5  
    It is a game for youth. 
    G5                                      C5  
    But I'm not waiting on a lady, 
    G5                                     C5  
    I'm just waiting on a friend.
