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