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

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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
