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

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
