Intro 1
(F major) (D minor) (G major)
Verse 1
(F major) Saw a picture of
girl with the same hair
And I'm posed next to her
(G major) copping a smile
(F major) Made a great photo but I never
thought I'd see her again
Didn't really wanna (G major) ever see her again
(F major) When I'm alone on the train it was
hard to imagine you caring about
On your (G major) own
I can't believe you brought
her back (F major) for me
That day was supposed
to be like spring break
But it was dark (G major) and cool
And the sandbags are dirty,and gritty (F major)
under our shoes.
(G major)
Verse 2
(F major) I brought my camera and have a
shot of us you
And that guy who died down in
Philly on the beach (G major)
The cyclone made you sick (F major) (D minor)
(F major) It was a seamless sort of trip
But the time (G major) we took the tram
down to Roosevelt island
You made me feel (F major) like I was
More like you than like me (G major)
Verse 3
I like that
(F major) But even when I was trying
to score
And we sat on the bench on
that designated corner
When we didn't (G major) have cell phones
And waited for a man and we (F major) jumped
on the subway back down town
(G major)
Verse 4
It always kicks (F major) in and it,
always kicks in and it
Sets your mind,
something (G major) about the motion
It sets your mind, sets your mind (F major)
You really have to convince yourself
it would be bet (G major) ter outside
It doesn't seem like (F major) anything
could be better than that
Riding that train (G major)
And then you step (F major) outside
you step outside
And the sun is shining
(G major) Can't believe you would
ever go underground
(F major) That's crazy.
How'd they figure out even
how to build (G major) that thing
Interlude 1
Oh it goes and it goes
(F major) (G major)
(F major)
(G major)
(F major) (G major)
(F major) (G major)
(F major) (G major)
(F major) (G major)
Verse 5
(F major) Meet at the bar where
the floor lights up and
Every other square (D minor) turns (G major) to red and green
(F major) Just to make us go and stop,
and stop and go (G major)
I go (F major) sleep on the train
And wake up next to that guy
we used to hate (G major)
But the sound of his (F major) voice
And the sound of his giggling
Makes me want to be his friend (G major) again
And it goes and it goes (F major)
Interlude 2
And it goes and it goes
(G major) (F major)
(G major)
It always (C major) kicks
Verse 6
(F major) in and it,
always kicks in and it
Sets your mind,
something (G major) about the motion
It sets your mind, sets your mind, (F major)
It's hard to convince yourself
it would be (G major) better outside
Verse 7
It doesn't seem like (F major) anything
could be better than that
Riding that train (G major)
And then you step (F major) outside
you step outside
And the sun is shining
(G major) Can't believe you would
ever go underground
(F major) That's crazy.
Interlude 3

(G major) (F major)
(G major)
Verse 8
And it goes, and it goes (F major)
And it goes, and it goes (G major)
And it goes, and it (F major) goes
And it goes, and it goes (G major)
Oh it goes, and it goes (F major)
And it goes, and it goes (G major)
Oh it goes and (F major) (F major) it goes
