Riding on the subway
The fine art of self destruction

Bass intro
Em G Em
Em G Em Em G Em
The Harlem mammas they are laughing
They call me punk rock think they're cute
The pizza boys they keep on starin'
I guess they finally made it off their stoop
Em G
I don't even know and I don't even care x3
C
Oh yeah
G C
Since I've been hanging round
G C
Machines go up and down
G C D
Spray paint gospel on the beat
G C
Another billboard reads
G C
Come to Miami Beach
G C D
A man sells pretzels in the heat
Riding on the subway
Em G Em
Saints and sinners sweepstakes winners
Nine to five their smoking gun
Jazzman Jimmy's busked a million
Sometimes plays Duke Ellington for fun
I don't even know and I don't even care x3
Oh yeah
I've been hanging round
In the underground
One day I saw you in your seat
Past the transit cops
A three-card monty box
If I only had the guts to speak
Riding on the subway
C
Mother told me yesterday
G D
The things that God would never say before
C G D
We'll hang around the radio and listen to the status quo go on
I'm all right until Sunday night when
I keep going down
Took the local round
A soul confession in my sleep
Ain't no wishing well
Underneath the El
I still hope someday we might meet
Riding on the subway
