Album: Got No Shadow
Original Tab by Chris Walker
Capo on 2nd.
Bm Em7 C G
Bm Em7 C G
There's no sun and no starlight to shine on the rails
Bm Em7 C G
The spray painted words of the prophets have failed
Bm Em7 C G
Down in this tunnel there's no day or night
Cadd9 Bm C
Up above is it darkness or light
Bm Em7 C G
It's all just a dream I wake up and I'm back
Bm Em7 C G
Where the wheels of reality screech down the track
Bm Em7 C G
The ride is the moment they're all waiting for
Cadd9 Bm C
Can't afford to believe that there's more
Em Bm C
I can't kid myself into thinking there's more

Bm Em7 C G
And he lives in the suburbs and he carries a phone
Bm Em7 C G
I watch him arrive and I'll watch him go home
Bm Em7 C G
He'll pitch me a quarter as he stops to change lines
Cadd9 Bm C
He'd stay but he never has time
Em Bm C
Would he stay if he ever had time
D C G
So hold my eye
D C G
While the rest of the city flies by
D C C/C/G/Bb G
And the tips and the tokens you left me today
G Bm C
Are the price of my ride on the subway
Bm Em7 C G
And I've seen drowning hobos and rich men who pass
Bm Em7 C G
Reflected in fragments of Boston bound glass
Bm Em7 C G
And I'll be Jimmie Rodgers, The Cure or The Who
Cadd9 Bm C
If it makes any difference to you
Em Bm C
Does it make any difference to you
D C G
So hold my eye
D C G
While the rest of the city flies by
D C C/C/G/Bb G
And the tips and the tokens you left me today
G Bm C
Are the price of my ride on the subway
G Bm C
They’re the price of my ride on the subway
G Bm C
They’re the price of my ride on the subway
(Mary Lou Lord, Nick Saloman)
