Red Hot Chili Peppers
By The Way (Live Acoustic)
[Intro]
One, two, three, four

[Chorus]
Standin' in line to see the show tonight
And there’s a light on, heavy glow
By the way, I tried to say I'd be there, waiting for
Dani, the girl, is singin' songs to me
Beneath the marquee, overload

[Verse 1]
Steak knife, card shark, con job, boot cut
Skin that flick, she’s such a little DJ
Get there quick by street but not the freeway
Turn that trick to make a little leeway
Beat that nic, but not the way we play
Dogtown, blood bath, rib cage, soft tail

[Chorus]
Standin' in line to see the show tonight
And there's a light on, heavy glow
By the way, I tried to say I'd be there, waiting for

[Interlude]
Bow-wow-wow-wow
Wow-wow-wow-wow
Bow-wow-wow-wow
Wow-wow-wow-wow
[Verse 2]
Black jack, dope dick, pawn shop, quick pick
Kiss that dykе, I know you want to hold one
Not on strike but I'm about to bowl one
Bitе that mic, I know you never stole one
Girls that like a story, so I told one
Song bird, main line, cash back, hard top

[Chorus]
Standin' in line to see the show tonight
And there's a light on, heavy glow
By the way, I tried to say I'd be there, waiting for
Dani, the girl, is singin’ songs to me
Beneath the marquee, oversold
By the way, I tried to say I’d be there, hu, waiting for

[Bridge]
Ooh, ah, guess you never meant it
Ooh, ah, guess you never meant it
Ooh, ah, guess you never meant it
Ooh, ah, guess you never meant it
Ooh, ah, guess you never meant it
Ooh, ah, guess you never meant it
Ooh, ah, guess you never meant it
Ooh, ah, guess you never meant—
[Chorus]
Standin' in line to see the show tonight
And there’s a light on, heavy glow
By the way, I tried to say I'd be there, waiting for
Dani, the girl, is singin' songs to me
Beneath the marquee, oversold
By the way, I tried to say I know you from before

[Outro]
Standin' in line to see the show tonight
And there’s a light on, heavy glow
By the way, I tried to say I'd be there, waiting for
