BECGBmEm7CG
There's no sun and no starlight to shine on the rails
BmEm7CG
The spray painted words of the prophets have failed
BmEm7CG
Down in this tunnel there's no day or night
Cadd9BmC
Up above is it darkness or light
BmEm7CG
It's all just a dream I wake up and I'm back
BmEm7CG
Where the wheels of reality screech down the track
BmEm7CG
The ride is the moment they're all waiting for
Cadd9BmC
Can't afford to believe that there's more
EmBmC
I can't kid myself into thinking there's more
BmEm7CG
And he lives in the suburbs and he carries a phone
BmEm7CG
I watch him arrive and I'll watch him go home
BmEm7CG
He'll pitch me a quarter as he stops to change lines
Cadd9BmC
He'd stay but he never has time
EmBmC
Would he stay if he ever had time
DCG
So hold my eye
DCG
While the rest of the city flies by
DCC/C/G/BbG
And the tips and the tokens you left me today
GBmC
Are the price of my ride on the subway
BmEm7CG
And I've seen drowning hobos and rich men who pass
BmEm7CG
Reflected in fragments of Boston bound glass
BmEm7CG
And I'll be Jimmie Rodgers, The Cure or The Who
Cadd9BmC
If it makes any difference to you
EmBmC
Does it make any difference to you
DCG
So hold my eye
DCG
While the rest of the city flies by
DCC/C/G/BbG
And the tips and the tokens you left me today
GBmC
Are the price of my ride on the subway
GBmC
They?re the price of my ride on the subway
GBmC
They?re the price of my ride on the subway
(Mary Lou Lord, Nick Saloman)
