Am C They walk in and sit down, G Em With their mood of the day. Am C They read books over tea, G Em Am They give tips when they pay. C G Butter and bread, diet Coke and cake, C G She takes notes, she makes no mistakes. F Em Well daylight is fadin' Am While traders are tradin' F While the jukebox is playin' G The lovers are datin', G C The waitress is waitin'... C G For a thing to explode, G For a light to go on, F Dm For some sign to show Dm C Her time has yet to come. C G She's countin' the days G F Until real life arrives. F Dm She's countin': two three four five Am C And every minute feels G Em Just like the one before Am C No surprise, no twist G Em She wants so much more F Em Well daylight is fadin' Am While traders are tradin' F While the jukebox is playin' G The lovers are datin', G F The waitress is waitin'... F F Em Am F F G Em C G For a thing to explode, G For a light to go on, F For some sign to show Dm Her best has yet to come. C G She's countin' the days G F Until real life arrives. F Dm She's countin': two three four five C build up over bridge C G When will that thing explode G F When will that light go on F Dm Just to assure her she's not wrong. C G She's countin' the days G F Until real life arrives. F Dm She's countin', from nine to five F Dm C She's countin': two three four five.
