    	    	Вступление

[Intro]
Am C G Am

[Verse 1]
Am                                                 C
And I was feeling just a bit beat down and so I started on the sidewalks of this lonely town
        G
And I wonder
                            Am
if it's just me or if the city's getting colder and the street life's getting bolder and
Am                                                                C
I'm cuttin corners even though I'm months straight and I was so close behind you but I guess you couldn't wait
         G
And I wondered
                              Am
why the hell I didn't see you coming sooner so I could pick it or lose it
     C
hey hey
     G
hey hey

[Chorus]
F                                                          Am
I'm standing on the corner dreaming that I'm leaving the ground.
     C
hey hey
     G
hey hey
F                                                       Am
I'm leaning on a shoulder even though there's no one around.

[Verse 2]
Am                                                 C
And I was feeling like a million bucks and so I started for the pennies just to test my luck
        G
and I wonder
        Am
why I bother these problems when I know I won't solve them and
Am                                                       C
I was thinkin in case the times get mean that I should keep my bags packed and keep my records clean.
        G
But i wonder
                        Am
how the hell I'm gonna keep from going under when there's lightning and there's thunder
     C
hey hey
     G
hey hey

[Chorus]
F                                                          Am
I'm standing on the corner dreaming that I'm leaving the ground.
     C
hey hey
     G
hey hey
F                                                       Am
I'm leaning on a shoulder even though there's no one around.

[Interlude]
F                                   C        G
Ooh baby when I see you when the lights go down.
         F
oh you know
                                        C        G                  F           F           C        G
I always laugh and I was running but I did not know that you were right here, right now, I see you again,
          F
and I go on.

Am                                                 C

F                                                          Am
I'm standing on the corner dreaming that I'm leaving the ground.

F                                                       Am
I'm leaning on a shoulder even though there's no one around.
