Intro:
G7G7  C majorC FF

Verse:
FF
I sit down on the train
FF
With my big pocketbook
  C majorC      G+G
The guitar and a sugar-free drink
G+G
I wipe the sweat off of my brow
          C majorC
With the side of my arm
   FF          G+G
And I take off all that I can
               C majorC
I am trying not to have a bad day
   DmDm         FF    C majorC   FF
Now, everybody knows the way that is

Verse:
FF
Even though my baggage and I
        C majorC     FF
Are using up a two person seat
    G+G
I'm not trying to be funny
                 C majorC
But the guy who sits down next to me
  FF        G+G
Is even bigger than that
    FF           C majorC
We are overflowing out of the seat
  DmDm       FF            C majorC
And I can't look at him, he doesn't look at me

Chorus:
FF
Once you step on
FF
You might never get off
     C majorC
Of the commuter train
  FF          C majorC
It doesn't go very far away
          FF
But just the same
         C majorC   FF
It's a trip and a half

Verse:
FF
My face is pressed up against the window
           C majorC
And through it I can see
   FF
The reflection of the train
 C majorC                 G+G
I spy on the big guy sitting next to me
   C majorC
He's drinking two beers
  FF          G+G
And reading the New York Post
FF            C majorC
Trying not to get in my way
   DmDm            FF    C majorC   FF
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 majorC
Of the man on the train

Chorus:
FF
Once you step on
FF
You might never get off
     C majorC
Of the commuter train
  FF          C majorC
It doesn't go very far away
          FF
But just the same
         C majorC   FF
It's a trip and a half
