I wasn't designed to move so fast.
                                     G (320003@1)

                                          D (xx0232@1)And in my minds eye they all have so much fun,
                                A (x02220@1)nowhere to hide, and nowhere to run

A (x02220@1)                                            E (022100@1)

                       A (x02220@1)smaller and smaller.

A (x02220@1)                   E (022100@1)

Another hundred bucks of medication down.
                                     D (xx0232@1)Another sorry message that I need to send,
                                     A (x02220@1)and another situation that I have to end.

A (x02220@1)                          E (022100@1)
A midnight coming on a Monday night.
                                     G (320003@1)

                                      D (xx0232@1)Its a bitter pill, and it's still the same:
                       A (x02220@1)42nd Street, Greyhound again.

A (x02220@1)                                 E (022100@1)
If I get one seat, I hope it's the window.
                                     G (320003@1) 
And if I get two seats I'll just lie down.
                                        D (xx0232@1)but if I get one seat and it's just the aisle,
                                         A (x02220@1)I'll still be asleep before the hundreth mile.

A (x02220@1)                       E (022100@1)
And then inside some tiny dream
                            G (320003@1) 
and inside that somekind of me
                                     D (xx0232@1)and outside us rolls the bus and the time 
                                 Awill (x02220@1)go by till inside me I am asleep.

A rolled sweatshirt makes the window soft.
