Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G][Em][Em]

[Chorus 1]
[C]Standing in line
To see the [G]show tonight
And there's a [Em]light on
Heavy [D]glow
[C]By the way I [G]tried to say
I'd [Em]be there, waiting for
[C]Dani the girl
Is singing [G]songs to me
Beneath the [Em]marquee, overload

[Interlude 1]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Steak knife, card shark
Con job, boot cut
[Am]Skin that flick
She's such a little DJ
[Am]Get there quick
By street but not the freeway
[Am]Turn that trick
To make a little leeway
[Am]Beat that nic
But not the way that we play
[Am]Dog town, blood bath

[Chorus 2]
Rib cage, soft tail
[C]Standing in line
To see [G]the show tonight
And there's a [Am]light on
Heavy glow
[C]By the way [G]I tried to say
I'd [Em]be there, waitin[F]g for

[Interlude 2]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]

[Verse 2]
[Am]Black jack, dope dick
Pawn shop, quick pick
[Am]Kiss that dyke
I know you want to hold one
[Am]Not on strike
But I'm about to bowl one
[Am]Bite that mic
I know you never stole one
[Am]Girls that like
A story, so I told one
[Am]Song bird, main line

[Chorus 3]
Cash back, hard top
[C]Standing in line
To see the [G]show tonight
And there's a [Em]light on
Heavy glow
[C]By the way I [G]tried to say
I'd [Em]be there, waiting fo[D5]r
[C]Dani the girl
Is singing [G]songs to me
Beneath the [Em]marquee
Oversold
[C]By the way I [G]tried to say
I'd [Em]be there waiting for

[Interlude 3]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]
[Am]Ooh, ah, guess you never meant it
Ooh, ah, guess you never meant it
[Am]Ooh, ah, guess you never meant it
Ooh, ah, guess you never meant it
[Am]Ooh, ah, guess you never meant it
Ooh, ah, guess you never meant it
[Am]Ooh, ah, guess you never meant it

[Chorus 4]
Ooh, ah
[C]Standing in line
To see [G]the show tonight
And there's a [Am]light on
Heavy glow
[C]By the way [G]I tried to say
I'd [Em]be there, waitin[F]g for
[C]Dani the girl
Is sing[G]ing songs to me
Beneath the [Am]marquee
Oversold
[C]By the way [G]I tried to say
I [Em]know you
From [F]before

[Chorus 5]
[C]Standing in line
To see [G]the show tonight
And there's a [Am]light on
Heavy glow
[C]By the way [G]I tried to say
I'd [Em]be there, waitin[F]g for
[Am]
