[Intro]
G7 C F
[Verse]
F
I sit down on the train
F
With my big pocketbook
C G
The guitar and a sugar-free drink
G
I wipe the sweat off of my brow
C
With the side of my arm
F G
And I take off all that I can
C
I am trying not to have a bad day
Dm F C F
Now, everybody knows the way that is
[Verse]
F
Even though my baggage and I
C F
Are using up a two person seat
G
I'm not trying to be funny
C
But the guy who sits down next to me
F G
Is even bigger than that
F C
We are overflowing out of the seat
Dm F C
And I can't look at him, he doesn't look at me
[Chorus]
F
Once you step on
F
You might never get off
C
Of the commuter train
F C
It doesn't go very far away
F
But just the same
C F
It's a trip and a half
[Verse]
F
My face is pressed up against the window
C
And through it I can see
F
The reflection of the train
C G
I spy on the big guy sitting next to me
C
He's drinking two beers
F G
And reading the New York Post
F C
Trying not to get in my way
Dm F C F
Now, everybody knows the kinda day that is
[Verse]
N.C.
He is miserable
N.C.
And I am miserable
N.C.
We are miserable
N.C.
Can't we have a party
N.C.
Would he rather have a party
N.C.
After all we have to sit here
N.C.
And he's even drinking a beer
N.C.
I want to ask him what's his name
N.C.
But I can't 'cause I'm so afraid
C
Of the man on the train
[Chorus]
F
Once you step on
F
You might never get off
C
Of the commuter train
F C
It doesn't go very far away
F
But just the same
