Verse
F#m E D
She's watching the taxi driver and pulls away
F#m E D
She's been locked up inside her apartment a hundred days
F#m E
She says, Yeah, he's still coming, just a little bit late
D
He got stuck at the laundromat washing his cape
F#m E D
She's just watching the clouds roll by and they spell her name like Lois Lane
Bm Dmaj7
And she smiles, oh the way she smiles
[Chorus]
A E
She's talking to angels, counting the stars
F#m D
Making a wish on a passing car
A E
Sh'es dancing with strangers, falling apart
F#m D
Waiting for Superman to pick her up
F#m D E
In his arms,
F#m D E
In his arms
Waiting for Superman
[Verse]
F#m E D
She's out on the corner trying to catch a glimpse
(still F)
Nothing's making sense
F#m E
She's been chasing an answer
D
F# sign lost in the abyss, this Metropolis
F#m E
She says... Yeah, he's still coming, just a little bit late
D
He got stuck at the Five and Dime saving the day
F#m E D
She says... If life was a movie, then it wouldn't end like this
Left without a kiss
Bm Dmaj7
Still, she smiles, the way she smiles, yeah
[Chorus]
A E
She's talking to angels, she's counting the stars
F#m D
Making a wish on a passing car
A E
She's dancing with strangers, she's falling apart
F#m D
Waiting for Superman to pick her up
F#m D E
In his arms,
F#m D E
In his arms
She's waiting for Superman
[Verse]
F#m D
To lift her up and take her anywhere
E
Show her love and climbing through the air
F#m D E
Save her now before it's too late tonight
Oh, like a speeding light
E
And she smiles
[Chorus]
(pause) A E
She's talking to angels, she's counting the stars
F#m D
Making a wish on a passing car
A E
She's dancing with strangers, she's falling apart
F#m D
Waiting for Superman to pick her up
F#m D E
In his arms,
F#m D E
In his arms
She's waiting for Superman
[Verse]
F#m D
To lift her up and take her anywhere
E
Show her love and climbing through the air
F#m D E
Save her now before it's too late tonight
F#m
She’s waiting for Superman
