Diane The Skyscraper

      C           Am              
I'm living in a waiting room on 
   F/A
the tenth floor
      Dm            C
Of a New York City skyscraper
            Dm           F/C  
Got the paperwork filled out my 
    C/G
friend
         Dm                    F/C
Can you tell me how this story ends
    C                  Am         
My best girl caught a taxi cab to 
     F/A         Dm
an uptown bar to meet my band
    C/E                 Am      
But I don't have the energy so 
Dm             F/C      C/G
she plugs my machines back in
         C              Am        
And the late night T.V. talks to 
        F/A         Dm         
me about God but God why can't 
C/E          Am
I sleep?
    Dm           F/C       C/G
As she plugs my machines back in
        Dm                   F
But my machines back in now don't 
cha'

        Dm                F    
Well I can't predict the weather 
          C
past the storm
        F               C
(The weather past the storm)


[Verse 2]
               C              Am
And there's mornings where I wake up
 quick
        F/A                 
And my head it dreams and my 
  Dm              C
stomach's sick alone
    Dm              F        C
To slowly pull the sun from bed
            Dm                 F/A
Below the fifty-ninth street bridge
       C               Am
And I feel like I'm a battle tank
             F/A              Dm
But there's peace for every pound of
 strength
      C/G            Am
I'm waiting for the enemy
       Dm            F/C        C/G
While she plugs my machines back in
      Dm
(Back in)
