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                    C 
And she smiles, oh the way she smiles 


                 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 


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                   C 
Still, she smiles, the way she smiles, yeah 


                 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 


   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 


 (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 



   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
