[Intro] Bm F#m A4 Em

Bm        D9
They walk in and sit down
A9          Em
With their mood of the day
Bm        D9
They read books over tea
A9         Em                  Bm
They give tips when they pay
D9               A9      Em.           Bm
Butter and bread, diet Coke and cake
D9               A9
She takes notes, she makes no mistakes

G                       D/F#
Well daylight is fadin'
                           G
While traders are tradin'

While the jukebox is playin'
     A9
The lovers are datin'
                         D9
The waitress is waitin'

[Chorus]

D9               A4
For a thing to explode
                  G
For a light to go on
                Em
For some sign to show
                     D9
Her time has yet to come
                    A4
She's countin' the days
                  G
Until real life arrives
                Em
She's countin': two three four five

Bm        D9
And every minute feels
A             Em
Just like the one before
Bm           D
No surprise, no twist
A         Em
She wants so much more

Bm   D9                  A
Well daylight is fadin'
      g
While traders are tradin'
Bm
While the jukebox is playin'
G
The lovers are datin'
A                    G
The waitress is waitin'

( G D/F# Bm G D/F# A# )

D9               A4
For a thing to explode
                  G
For a light to go on
                Em
For some sign to show
                     D9
Her time has yet to come
                    A4
She's countin' the days
                  G
Until real life arrives
                Em
She's countin': two three four five

( G9 Bm A9 )

D                    A
When will that thing explode
                       G
When will that light go on
           Em                  D9
Just to assure her she's not wrong
                   A
She's countin' the days
                  G
Until real life arrives
A               Em
She's countin', from nine to five
D               Em                   D
She's countin': two three four five
