I was wasting my night, calling in my favorite songs on the local radio 
      C                       Am       G11                C - Am G11 
I was standing in the window, staring down to the street 
               C                          Am                 G11                 C - Am G11 
Just when the lightening flashed and the thunder rolled, the telephone rings 

 
Am               G11                       C     
I'm waiting for Christchurch woman in the rain

And i've always been a fool for a conversation and a couple of smokes 
           C                       Am                           G11         C       Am G11 
Yeah, when I'm feeling this blue i need just someone someone to laugh at my jokes
