 Am          Am
(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           Am
(dog town..) (blood bath..)
 Am           Am
(rib cage..) (soft tail..)

(Chorus)
C
standing in line

 Am            Am
(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            Am
(song bird..) (main line..)
 Am            Am
(cash back..) (hard top..)

(Chorus)

I'd be there.. waiting for..

dani the girl.. is singing songs to me
            Em

C            G
by the way I tried to say
    Em
I'd be there.. waiting for..

              Standing in line to see the show tonight
And there's a light on, heavy glow
By the way, I tried to say
I'd be there waiting for
Dani, the girl, is singing songs to me
Beneath the marquee, overload

Steak knife, card shark
Con job, boot cut
Skin that flick, she's such a little DJ
To get there quick by street but not the freeway
Turn that trick to make a little leeway
Beat that nic, but not the way that we play
Dogtown, blood bath
Rib cage, soft tail

Standing in line to see the show tonight
And there's a light on, heavy glow
By the way, I tried to say
I'd be there waiting for

Black jack, dope dick
Pawn shop, quick pick
Kiss that dyke, I know you want to hold one
Not on strike but I'm about to bowl one
Bite that mic, I know you never stole one
Girls that like a story, so I told one
Song bird, main line
Cash back, hard top

Standing in line to see the show tonight
And there's a light on, heavy glow
By the way, I tried to say
I'd be there waiting for
Dani, the girl, is singing songs to me
Beneath the marquee, oversold
By the way, I tried to say
I'd be there waiting for

Ooh, ah, guess you never meant it
Ooh, ah, guess you never meant it
Ooh, ah, guess you never meant it
Ooh, ah, guess you never meant it
Ooh, ah, guess you never meant it
Ooh, ah, guess you never meant it
Ooh, ah, guess you never meant it
Ooh, ah

Standing in line to see the show tonight
And there's a light on, heavy glow
By the way, I tried to say
I'd be there waiting for
Dani, the girl, is singing songs to me
Beneath the marquee, oversold
By the way, I tried to say
I know you from before

Standing in line to see the show tonight
And there's a light on, heavy glow
By the way, I tried to say
I'd be there waiting for
