Verse 1
(Intro Riff)
check out the girl in the harbor tunnel 
(Intro Riff)
crawling to work six feet under 
C                           G
and the day has barely begun 
C                           G             D
they're all chewing gum and laughing 
(Intro Riff)
at the voice on the crackling radio station 
(Intro Riff)
lead us not into penn station 
C                           G             
cause the best part's just begun

we're all becoming one again

Am
and she's making the scene 
Dsus2                  Em
with the coffee and cream 
C                  
and the copy machine's not working 
Am
she's a hell of a girl
Dsus2                  Em
she's alone in the world 
C                  D
and she likes to say hey good lookin 
Am               D
she's on her way 
Am               D            Bb     C
she's taking a sick day soon

and here is the man pushing paper past her 
(Intro Riff)
thinks up ways to make the day go faster 
C                           G             
but the day goes on and on 
C                           G             D
he dreams of his lawn and all about the 
(Intro Riff)
pretty careerist in the next cube over 
(Intro Riff)
the fat secretary, the lunchtime lover 
C                           G             
till the path train finally comes 
C                           G             D
the platform's full of bums again

and she's making the scene

and the copy machine's not working

she's a hell of a girl

she's alone in the world

Am
and she's taking her time 
Dsus2                  Em
as she's tossing a dime

at the man in the cardboard coffin
Am
it doesn't have to be fine
Dsus2                  Em
she's ahead of the line 
C                  
and doesn't have to be here too often
Am               D           
she's making a play 
Am               D            Bb     C
she's taking a sick day soon.
