Am                     G                  F
    She's watching the taxi driver and pulls away
          Am            G                     F
She's been locked up inside her apartment a hundred days
          Am                              G
She says, Yeah, he's still coming, just a little bit late
       F
He got stuck at the laundromat washing his cape
         Am             G                       F
She's just watching the clouds roll by and they spell her name like Lois Lane
         Dm                    Fmaj7
And she smiles, oh the way she smiles

[Chorus]
                 C                    G
She's talking to angels, counting the stars
         Am                F
Making a wish on a passing car
                   C                   G
Sh'es dancing with strangers, falling apart
            Am                   F
Waiting for Superman to pick her up
       Am   F   G
In his arms,
       Am  F  G
In his arms

Waiting for Superman

[Verse]
Am               G                 F
She's out on the corner trying to catch a glimpse
(still F)
Nothing's making sense
           Am            G
She's been chasing an answer
               F
A sign lost in the abyss, this Metropolis

            Am                               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
            Am              G                       F
She says... If life was a movie, then it wouldn't end like this

Left without a kiss
           Dm                   Fmaj7
Still, she smiles, the way she smiles, yeah

[Chorus]
                 C                          G
She's talking to angels, she's counting the stars
         Am                F
Making a wish on a passing car
                   C                         G
She's dancing with strangers, she's falling apart
            Am                   F
Waiting for Superman to pick her up
       Am     F  G
In his arms,
       Am    F  G
In his arms

She's waiting for Superman

[Verse]
   Am         F
To lift her up and take her anywhere
G
Show her love and climbing through the air
Am          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
         Am                F
Making a wish on a passing car
                   C                         G
She's dancing with strangers, she's falling apart
            Am                   F
Waiting for Superman to pick her up
       Am   F   G
In his arms,
       Am   F   G
In his arms

She's waiting for Superman

[Verse]
   Am         F
To lift her up and take her anywhere
G
Show her love and climbing through the air
Am          F                        G
Save her now before it's too late tonight
                    Am
She’s waiting for Superman
