Jack's Mannequin – Diane The Skyscraper (Guitar)

      C           Am                 F/A
I'm living in a waiting room on the tenth floor

      Dm            C
Of a New York City skyscraper

            Dm           F/C      C/G
Got the paperwork filled out my friend

         Dm                    F/C
Can you tell me how this story ends

    C                  Am              F/A         Dm
My best girl caught a taxi cab to an uptown bar to meet my band

    C/E                 Am      Dm             F/C      C/G
But I don't have the energy so she plugs my machines back in

         C              Am                F/A         Dm         C/E          Am
And the late night T.V. talks to me about God but God why can't I sleep?

    Dm           F/C       C/G
As she plugs my machines back in

        Dm                   F
But my machines back in now don't cha'

         Dm        F                C

       Dm             F         C
We are all in this together Oh Diane

(Diane)

         Dm           F           C

(Diane)

        Dm                F              C
Well I can't predict the weather past the storm

        F               C
(The weather past the storm)

               C              Am
And there's mornings where I wake up quick

        F/A                   Dm              C
And my head it dreams and my stomach's sick alone

    Dm              F        C
To slowly pull the sun from bed

            Dm                 F/A
Below the fifty-ninth street bridge

       C               Am
And I feel like I'm a battle tank

             F/A              Dm
But there's peace for every pound of strength

      C/G            Am
I'm waiting for the enemy

       Dm            F/C        C/G
While she plugs my machines back in

      Dm
(Back in)
