I’m

waiting for the train
The subway that only
Goes one way
The stupid thing that’ll come to pull us apart
And make everybody late

Vs.2
You gave everything you had
Wanted everything to
Stop that bad

Br.2
And now I’m a crushed credit card registered to Smith
Not the name that you call me with

Solo

Vs.3
You turned white like a saint
I’m tired of dancing on a pot of
Gold flake paint

Br.3

Oh we’re so very precious you and I
And everything that you do makes me want to die
Oh I just told the biggest lie
I just told the biggest lie
The biggest lie

SOLO:over verse and bridge chords
Just move everything in the solo up two frets (or play it like this with
standard tuning)
