E E
Riding on the subway
Hanging out and breathing underground
E/B E/B
Blame it on the subway
Couldn't get reception while I was rumbling around
E E Amin7
Tumbling and fumbling, mumbling and crumbling down
Amin6
At the speed of sound, inbound

E E
Sitting on the subway
Odd body odors from the bystanders who stand
E/B E/B
Staring on the subway
Lots of different names forced into the same land
Amin7 Amin6
As the panhandlers handle their pans

A2 A2 E E
And I don't know the reason why I stay
F#m7 F#m7 F#7 F#7
I never get anywhere anyway
A A B B
On the subway

Bing bong!

E E
Waiting on the subway
Clock is ticking quicker than it usually does
E/B E/B
Hating on the subway
Like it's sitting pretty in the tunnel just because
Amin7
It wants to make me cry
Amin6
Or in the summer, melt me 'til I'm dry
A A B B
Oh, why?

A2 A2 E E
And I don't know the reason why I stay
F#m7 F#m7 F#7 F#7
But I'm still held hostage by the MTA
Cmin7
On the subway...

Dmin7
Upstairs, up there
Emin7
Everything's going fine
Cmin7
You'd never know that I'm down below
Emin7 Dmin7 Cmin7
And never gonna be on time
Emin7
It's just a bunch of circles
Pretending to be lines...

E E
[pause, frustrated sigh]

E E
Living on the subway
Rushing to whatever tribulation might be next
E/B E/B
Giving on the subway
All the out-of-towners on vacation seem perplexed
A A
As the B B-Boys dance in their baggy pants
And their tinny homemade beats (wicky wicky!)
And the old ladies who miss their Mercedes still gyrate in their seats
And the B B-Boys tip their hats for tips
And then rinse and repeat

F F#min7
And it's actually kinda sweet
A A
Who knows who you might meet
B B
Hundreds of feet beneath the street

A A E E
And I don't know the reason why I stay...
F#m7 F#m7 F#7 F#7
But I'd pick stressful over boring any day!
A A B B E E
On the subway
