A7     Cdim         D  F#m  Bm    Bm7/E          Em7     G/B A7 
You're watchin' the sun come up and countin' your money, 
   Cdim      G   G/F# Em7       Em6      Bm   Bm7/E 
Or else in a dim cafe  you're ordering wine 
     B7        G  G/F#  Em7         Em6      F#m  Em7  B7 
Then suddenly there he   is, and you wanna be where he is

This could be the start of something big
