	        E                 F#7            F#m 
i got in a tussle 
F#m         B                    E 
with a stranger on the train 
E                       F#7            F#m 
his face was familiar 
F#m       B                      G#m 
but i couldn't place the name 
G#m             C# 
it got to be ugly 
C#                 G#m 
threats were made 
G#m              C#                        B 
i hope that no-one who could see 
       Bbm                             A      G# 
would be someone who'd know you 

E                      F#7            F#m 
i had a small run-in 
F#m         B                 E 
with a driver and his wife 
E                       F#7              F#m 
you might call it road rage 
F#m       B                      G#m 
but the guy outdid the light 
G#m             C# 
conceding nothing 
C#              G#m 
i held my ground 
G#m                     C#  
and now that it's over 
         C                     Bb 
i've said that there must be  
 A      G#      C#     
a better way 

C#               C#m 
i keep it in mind 
C#                         C#m 
eight times out of nine 
C#                       C#m 
i'm wrong or i'm right 
F#                       G#m 
it's not worth a fight 
C#                        C#m 
but what's hard to define 
C#                         C#m 
makes it tough to decide 
C#              C#m 
you don't realize 
F#                       G#m 
until after it has begun 
F#                       G#m 
whether this is the one 

E                          F#7        F#m     B 
i probably knew better 
E                          F#7        F#m     B
