Verse 1:
CLeaving on the subway for your hGome last night
I was pFaying for the ride with my Gmoney
FStanding in the station, I was lGosing my patiFence and my Cmind
All the liCquor and the women and the tGime in between
And the naFrcotic haze I'd been fGeeling
Shoulda nFever come between us but I'm Gso glad you're Fback in my Clife
Chorus:
When I'm Fwatching as the lights of tChe city fade
SFitting by the window on the sCeat of the train
SFaddened with the burden of a gCuessing game
C(G) Am  
Which one is yours ?
Just lGeave the lights off then Fnext time I'm Gturning 'em Con

Verse 2:
Well I was fCumbling for a quarter, hoGping it wasn't over
I was pFrobably running out of Gmoney
FWasn't over then and I gGuess that it aFin't over nCow
Well I Chit the city I was dGead on my feet
Lying Fin your arms with my Ghead on the street
FTearing up my wallet and the bGars where Fwe used to mCeet
Chorus:
When I'm wFatching as the lights of thCe city fade
SFitting by the window on the sCeat of the train
