[Intro]
C#m* C#m A E G#m
(*Only lay down your fingers on the strings and mute them)
[Verse 1]
C#m
Oh the wind whistles down
A
On the cold dark street tonight
E G#m
And the people they are dancing to the music vibe
C#m
And the boys chase the girls with the curls in their hair
A
While the shy tormented youth sit way over there
E
And the songs they get louder
G#m
Each one better than before
[Chorus] (x2)
C#m
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
A
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
E
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
G#m
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
[Verse 2]
C#m
So you're heading down the road in your taxi for four
A
And you're waiting outside Jimmy's front door
E G#m
But nobody's in and nobody's home 'til four
C#m
So you're sitting there with nothing to do
A
Talking about Robert Riger and his motley crew
E G#m
And where you're gonna go and where you're gonna sleep tonight
[Chorus] (x2)
C#m
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
A
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
E
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
G#m
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

Yup, looking at the YouTubes of her live this is how she plays it. It has the right sound.
+1

I think this one Em should be a G#m in the first verse

Just note that C# and G# are both minor, which you show fine on the chords diagram but they are C#m and G#m.
