Verse
A#m G# F#
She's watching the taxi driver and pulls away
A#m G# F#
She's been locked up inside her apartment a hundred days
A#m G#
She says, Yeah, he's still coming, just a little bit late
F#
He got stuck at the laundromat washing his cape
A#m G# F#
She's just watching the clouds roll by and they spell her name like Lois Lane
D#m F#maj7
And she smiles, oh the way she smiles
[Chorus]
C# G#
She's talking to angels, counting the stars
A#m F#
Making a wish on a passing car
C# G#
Sh'es dancing with strangers, falling apart
A#m F#
Waiting for Superman to pick her up
A#m F# G#
In his arms,
A#m F# G#
In his arms
Waiting for Superman
[Verse]
A#m G# F#
She's out on the corner trying to catch a glimpse
(still F)
Nothing's making sense
A#m G#
She's been chasing an answer
F#
A# sign lost in the abyss, this Metropolis
A#m G#
She says... Yeah, he's still coming, just a little bit late
F#
He got stuck at the Five and Dime saving the day
A#m G# F#
She says... If life was a movie, then it wouldn't end like this
Left without a kiss
D#m F#maj7
Still, she smiles, the way she smiles, yeah
[Chorus]
C# G#
She's talking to angels, she's counting the stars
A#m F#
Making a wish on a passing car
C# G#
She's dancing with strangers, she's falling apart
A#m F#
Waiting for Superman to pick her up
A#m F# G#
In his arms,
A#m F# G#
In his arms
She's waiting for Superman
[Verse]
A#m F#
To lift her up and take her anywhere
G#
Show her love and climbing through the air
A#m F# G#
Save her now before it's too late tonight
Oh, like a speeding light
G#
And she smiles
[Chorus]
(pause) C# G#
She's talking to angels, she's counting the stars
A#m F#
Making a wish on a passing car
C# G#
She's dancing with strangers, she's falling apart
A#m F#
Waiting for Superman to pick her up
A#m F# G#
In his arms,
A#m F# G#
In his arms
She's waiting for Superman
[Verse]
A#m F#
To lift her up and take her anywhere
G#
Show her love and climbing through the air
A#m F# G#
Save her now before it's too late tonight
A#m
She’s waiting for Superman
