C
Annette and Charmaine check in at six
G
Choose their pitch for the night
F G F
Easy money that's what they say
C
When you get your mind right
C
Charmaine wanted to be an actress
G
She never made the grade
F G
Found it was not so much getting the part
F C G C G
More a matter of getting laid
[Verse]
C
There's Sandy, sometimes he's a girl
G
Sometimes she's a man
F G F C
No problem, that's okay, everybody understands
C
Points out a drink with a cigarette
G
She's got a cool nonchalant air
F G F
Flashing his eyes in the mirror
C G C G
Casually checking her hair, she doesn't care
[Chorus]
Am G
There's a whole world out there, passing through
C
I see it every day
G
Watching me, watching you
C F C F G C G C
From a corner café
[Verse]
C
The rich kids come in from the suburbs
G
They're dressing down and hanging out
F G F
Getting a taste of the street scene
C
Taking a taxi out
C
They're watching all the girls at the bar
G
They wonder how much they cost
F G F
Laughing at the transvestite
C G C G C
She's looking lost
[Verse]
C
Annette leaves with the big man
G
He's got hairs on the back of his hand
F G F
He says he'll make her a big star
C
And find her a backing band
C
He's old but he's rich so what does she care
G
Life all round is hard
F G
No one's looking for real commitment
F C G C G
It's just love on a credit card
[Chorus]
Am G
There's a whole world out there, passing through
C
I see it every day
G
Watching me, watching you
C
From a corner café
[Instrumental]

C
Me, I'm not that much different
G
I'm hanging out and wasting time
F G F
Yeah, I'm still missing you
C
But I'm doing fine
C
I sit here watching the world go by
G
I'm on the lonely side of town
F G F
I write songs for the people I see
C G C G
While they're still around
[Chorus]
Am G
There's a whole world out there, passing through
C
I see it every day
G
Watching me, watching you
C
From a corner café
