Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse 1

Leaving on the subway for your home last night

 I was paying for the ride with my money

Standing in the station, I was losing my patience and my mind

 All the liquor and the women and the time in between

 And the narcotic haze I'd been feeling

 Shoulda never come between us but I'm so glad you're back in my life

Chorus

 When I'm watching as the lights of the city fade

 Sitting by the window on the seat of the train

 Saddened with the burden of a guessing game

Which one is yours ?

 Just leave the lights off then next time I'm turning 'em on

Verse 2

 Well I was fumbling for a quarter, hoping it wasn't over

 I was probably running out of money

Wasn't over then and I guess that it ain't over now

 Well I hit the city I was dead on my feet

 Lying in your arms with my head on the street

Tearing up my wallet and the bars where we used to meet

Chorus

 When I'm watching as the lights of the city fade

 Sitting by the window on the seat of the train

 Saddened with the burden of a guessing game

Which one is yours ?

 Just leave the lights off then next time I'm turning 'em on

Instrumantal: (Chorus)

Verse 3

Leaving on the subway for your home last night

 I was paying for the ride with my money

Standing in the station, I was losing my patience and my mind

 All the liquor and the women and the time in between

 And the drug haze I'd been feeling

 Shoulda never come between us but I'm so glad you're back in your life

Chorus

 When I'm watching as the lights of the city fade

 Sitting by the window on the seat of the train

 Saddened with the burden of a guessing game

Which one is yours ?

 Just leave the lights off then next time I'm turning 'em on

 Just leave the lights off then next time I'm turning 'em on
