[Verse 1]
N.C. D#m G**
The 7:30 train on a Tuesday
C#* G
Enough to last a week in my suitcase
D#m
I never even wanted this life
G#7 C#
Hold, hold on; hold, hold on
[Verse 2]
N.C. D#m G**
I took an empty seat on the Sound side
C#* G
The coachman has a smoke because the rain died
D#m
The travel talking cuts like a knife
G#7 C#
Hold, hold on; hold, hold on
[Chorus]
G# A#m D#m
I see that lighthouse glowing / hold a little longer
G# F# D#m
I hear them shorewaves folding / hold a little longer
[Verse 3]
N.C. D#m G**
And when you’re driving home late at night dear
C#* G
The Verrazano bridge looks so bright dear
D#m
D# glass of Cabernet with my wife
G#7 C#
Hold, hold on; hold, hold on
[Solo]
