D                Em
Every town has a diner
            G                  C
Where I'll meet you and your friends too
Things are just a bit nicer over some coffee
You can tell me all about your day
I don't know much about you
Not that I want to
Not that I want to
Sometimes I can't escape from my room
So excuse me, I'll be just a little late

Chorus:
Em7  G         C
You will wait for me
You will wait for me

Every town has a corner
Where I'll see you and your friends too
Hanging out looking cool
Saying the same things over and over again
Sometimes we all feel stupid
We say the wrong things
You're not the only one
Sometimes we all get left behind
In a race of style
It's a dumb thing

Chorus - x2
