Verse 1
Em                            C6          D
  On Waterloo Bridge, you got lost in the fog
   D         Bm    Em
Performing a crazy monologue
      C6       D
About love and luck
    D       Bm  Em
And do they coincide?
                        C6   D
And how you can feel disqualified
                   Bm
With no room for maneuver
        Em
And all routes explored
        C6      | D | D Bm |
Because you're ignored

Bridge
       C                     D
You're hoping for a miracle
   Em                   D
To get you out of here
C
Hoping for a miracle
    Bm         Em
A miraculous career

Pre-chorus
      C
Where everyone loves you, everyone wants you
  D6
A photo on their phone
C
You're on the rebound, life is a playground
  D6
A taxi takes you home

Chorus
       E7sus4           Em
You're hoping for a miracle
      E7sus4           Em
Still hoping for a miracle
     E7sus4           Em
With no room for maneuver

No room for maneuver

Verse 2
Em                             C6         D
  A meadow in Oxford where you sat in the sun
               D            Bm     Em
Those were the days you had just begun
       C6     D            Bm  [ Em ]
Firing verbal shots like a Tommy Gun
Em                            C6     D
  In the expectation you'd be number one
  D            Bm     Em
A child of the sun, a leader of men
              C6     | D | D Bm |
You know, not if, but when

Bridge
       C                     D
You're hoping for a miracle
   Em                   D
To run and win the race
C
Hoping for a miracle
   Bm            Em
To earn a famous face

Pre-chorus
C
Everyone loves you; everyone needs you
D6
You've got what it takes
C
You're everywhere now, you have the know-how
    D6
And all the money it makes

Chorus
       E7sus4           Em
You're hoping for a miracle
      E7sus4           Em
Still hoping for a miracle
     E7sus4              Em
With no thought of surrender
E7sus4              Em
No thought of surrender

(Hello, hello, is anybody out there?
You need a break; you could take it from anywhere
Could they beam you out of here?)

Bridge
C                     D
Hoping for a miracle
   Em                   D
Been waiting too long

You're hoping for a miracle
   Bm             Em
To help you carry on

Pre-chorus
     C
When nobody loves you, nobody needs you
       D6
You're out here on your own (You're out here on your own)
C
Who can you turn to? Where can you run to?
        D6
There's nowhere you call home (There's nowhere you call home)

With no room for maneuver

No room for maneuver

(It's been this way since life began
The child lives on inside the man
You have to eat, you have to sleep
You sometimes feel you're in too deep)
