hmm [N] sit
[B] [A] down on the train [C#] with my big pocketbook the guitar [A] and sugar-free
drink I wipe [B] the sweat off of my brown [F#m] die in my arm [A] and I take off [C#] all that I
can [A] I am trying not to have [E] a bad [F#] day
[A] [E] [F#m]
[A] [E] Even [B] though my baggage and I are using up [E] a two [A] person seat, I'm not trying [B] to be funny,
but the guy who sits down [E] next to me [A] is even bigger than that.
We are overflowing out of the seat, [F#m] and I can't [A] look at him, he doesn't look at me.
Once you step on you might never get off [E] of the commuter train, [A] doesn't go very far.
[E]
It's the same, [A] it's a trip and [E] a half.
[F#m]
[A] [E] [B] My face is pressed up against the window and through it I [E] can see, the [F#] reflection of the train.
I spy on the big guy sitting next to me, [E] drinking two [A] beers and reading the New York [B] Post.
Trying not [E] to get in my way, now [F#m] everybody knows what [A] kind of day [E] that is.
He is miserable [C#m] and I am miserable, we are miserable.
Can we have a party, would he rather [G#m] have a party, after all we have to sit here [C#m] and he's even drinking [G#m] a beer.
I [G#m] want to ask him what's his [C#m] name, but I can't [A] cause I'm so afraid.
