[F#] [F#m] [E]
[F#m]
I've been sitting up waiting for my sugar to show.
I've been listening to the sirens [D] and the radio.
He [F#m] said he'd be over three hours ago.
[F#] I've been waiting for his car [D] around [E] the corner.
[D] He makes friends easy, [G] he's not like me.
I watch for judgment anxiously.
[F#m] Now where in [E] the city [Bm] can that boy be?
[D] Waiting for a car, [F#m] [E] climbing, climbing, [A] climbing the hill.

[E] [F#m]
a real good talker, I think [G#] he's a friend.
[Bm] Last tires come [E] screaming [D] around.
[F#m] There's still [C#m] no buzzer, [F#m] they roll on.
[E] And [Bm] I'm waiting [E] for his car [D] on.
It always [G]
seems so righteous at the start.
When there's so much laughter, when there's so much spark.
[F#m] When there's so [C#m] much [Bm] sweetness in the dark.
[D] Waiting for a [F#m] car, [E] climbing, [D] climbing, climbing [A] the hill.
