[Verse]
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

[Verse]
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
