RAoll bus roll, take me Eoff.
A rolled sweatshirt makes the window Gsoft.
If I fall asleep, don't wake me Dup.
Roll bus roll, take me Aup.
MAidnight coming on a Monday Enight.
I'm gonna go again, because I don't feel Gright.
Quickpack, knapsack, quicksnack, quickDtrain.
42nd street, Greyhound Aagain.
RAoll bus roll, take me Eoff.
A rolled sweatshirt makes the window Gsoft.
If I fall asleep, don't wake me Dup.
Roll bus roll, take me Aup.
OAld bodegas and old streetElights.
Harlem looks so warm toGnight.
All those cheap desserts memory hurts, I could Ddie,
I gotta to take 2 Tylenols and close my Aeyes.
RAoll bus roll, take me Eoff.
A rolled sweatshirt makes the window Gsoft.
If I fall asleep, don't wake me Dup.
Roll bus roll, take me Aup.
I Awasn't designed to move so fEast.
I wasn't designed to have so much pasGt.
And in my minds eye they all have so much Dfun,
nowhere to hide, and nowhere to Arun
AAnd then the sun setting on my youth makes that Eold shadow get taller,
oh but its all Gfine 
as long as the bus makes the city behind me Dget 
smaller and smaller.A  
RAoll bus roll, take me Eoff.
A rolled sweatshirt makes the window Gsoft.
If I fall asleep, don't wake me Dup.
Roll bus roll, take me Aup.
TAwo weeks in England, two weeks in Etown.
Another hundred bucks of medication dGown.
Another sorry message that I need to Dsend,
and another situation that I have to Aend.
A Amidnight coming on a Monday Enight.
I'm gonna go again I might not be alrGight.
Its a bitter pill, and it's still the Dsame:
42nd Street, Greyhound Aagain.
IAf I get one seat, I hope it's the wiEndow.
And if I get two seats I'll just lie Gdown.
but if I get one seat and it's just the Daisle,
I'll still be asleep before the hundreth Amile.
AAnd then inside some tiny dEream
and inside that somekind of Gme
and outside us rolls the bus and the Dtime 
will go by till inside me I am asAleep.
RAoll bus roll, take me Eoff.
A rolled sweatshirt makes the window Gsoft.
If I fall asleep, don't wake me Dup.
Roll bus roll, take me Aup.

Chords in this song · guitar

A E

Roll bus roll, take me off.

A rolled sweatshirt makes the window soft.

If I fall asleep, don't wake me up.

Roll bus roll, take me up.

A E

Midnight coming on a Monday night.

I'm gonna go again, because I don't feel right.

Quickpack, knapsack, quicksnack, quicktrain.

42nd street, Greyhound again.

A E

Roll bus roll, take me off.

A rolled sweatshirt makes the window soft.

If I fall asleep, don't wake me up.

Roll bus roll, take me up.

A E

Old bodegas and old streetlights.

Harlem looks so warm tonight.

All those cheap desserts memory hurts, I could die,

I gotta to take 2 Tylenols and close my eyes.

A E

Roll bus roll, take me off.

A rolled sweatshirt makes the window soft.

If I fall asleep, don't wake me up.

Roll bus roll, take me up.

A E

I wasn't designed to move so fast.

I wasn't designed to have so much past.

And in my minds eye they all have so much fun,

nowhere to hide, and nowhere to run

A E

And then the sun setting on my youth makes that old shadow get taller,

oh but its all fine

as long as the bus makes the city behind me get

smaller and smaller.

A E

Roll bus roll, take me off.

A rolled sweatshirt makes the window soft.

If I fall asleep, don't wake me up.

Roll bus roll, take me up.

A E

Two weeks in England, two weeks in town.

Another hundred bucks of medication down.

Another sorry message that I need to send,

and another situation that I have to end.

A E

A midnight coming on a Monday night.

I'm gonna go again I might not be alright.

Its a bitter pill, and it's still the same:

42nd Street, Greyhound again.

A E

If I get one seat, I hope it's the window.

And if I get two seats I'll just lie down.

but if I get one seat and it's just the aisle,

I'll still be asleep before the hundreth mile.

A E

And then inside some tiny dream

and inside that somekind of me

and outside us rolls the bus and the time

will go by till inside me I am asleep.

A E

Roll bus roll, take me off.

A rolled sweatshirt makes the window soft.

If I fall asleep, don't wake me up.

Roll bus roll, take me up.
