[Verse]
                               F             C
He's just sitting on a corner, wasting time
                   G/B Am    G F             C
He's just sitting on a corner, wasting time
F               C              F               C
Wasting all his precious time, wasting all his time
     G  C G                C    F C
Everyone,  never wondering why

[Verse]
                               F              C
She just spends all her money, half the rent
          G/B  Am       G    F              C
On dresses and jewellery and playing cards
F                  C                F               C
Playing cards from dawn 'til night, playing cards all night
     G  C G                C     C7
Everyone,  never wondering why

[Chorus]
F           Dm              C        F
Outside the window, see the people below
Dm           F             G      C G
Life casts a shadow on the faces

[Verse]
F        C                 F              C
He's too lost to admit it, sends regards
            G/B   Am    G   F              C
To friends of the family at Christmastime
F                C             F                C
Sends regards to all he knows, sends regards to most
     G  C G                C     C7
Everyone,  never wondering why

[Chorus]
F           Dm              C        F
Outside the window, see the people below
Dm           F             G      C G
Life casts a shadow on the faces

[Verse]
F         C                    F             C
He's just sitting on a corner, wasting time
                   G/B Am    G F             C
He's just sitting on a corner, wasting time
F               C              F               C
Wasting all his precious time, wasting all his time
     G  C G        C G                C     F    C
Everyone,  everyone,  never wondering why
