Collingwood/Schlesinger Fountains of Wayne, 1996 [Verse 1] Start with fade into Am7 Dsus4 D Dsus2
     Am7                        Dsus4 D Dsus2
     Check out the girl in the harbor tunnel

     Am7                Dsus4 D Dsus2
     Crawling to work, six feet under

             C               G
     And the day has barely begun

      C                   G       D
     They're all chewing gum and laughing

             Am7                  Dsus4 D Dsus2
     At the voice of the cracklin radio station

     Am7           Dsus4 D Dsus2
     Lead us not into Penn Station

              C               G
     And the best parts just begun

            C            G    D
     We're all becoming one, again
[Chorus]
     Am7                   Em                       C
     And she's making the scene with her coffee and cream

                   G            D
     And the copy machines not working

     Am7               Em                       C
     She's a hell of a girl, she's alone in the world

                            G        D
     And she likes to say "Hey good lookin"

     Am7           D
     She's on her way

     Am7             D
     She's taking a sick day

     Bb   C
     Soon..
Am7 Dsus4 D Dsus2 Am7 Dsus4 D Dsus2 [Verse 2]
         Am7                     Dsus4 D Dsus2
     And here is the man pushing paper past her

     Am7                        Dsus4 D Dsus2
     Thinks of ways to make the day go faster

             C               G
     But the day goes on and on

        C             G        D
     He dreams of his lawn and all about

         Am7                  Dsus4 D Dsus2
     The pretty careerist the next cube over

         Am7               Dsus4 D Dsus2
     The fat secretary the lunch time lover

              C                  G
     Till the Path train finally comes

         C                 G    D
     The platforms full of bums again
[Chorus]
     Am7                   Em                       C
     And she's making the scene with her coffee and cream

                   G            D
     And the copy machines not working

     Am7               Em                       C
     She's a hell of a girl, she's alone in the world

                            G        D
     And she likes to say "Hey good lookin"

     Am7           D
     She's on her way

     Am7             D
     She's taking a sick day

     Bb   C
     Soon..
Solo over verse chords [Chorus]
     Am7                   Em                       C
     And she's making the scene with her coffee and cream

                   G            D
     And the copy machines not working

     Am7               Em                       C
     She's a hell of a girl, she's alone in the world

[Post-Chorus]
     Am7                  Em                       C
     And she's taking her time, as she's tossing a dime

            G                    D
     At the man in the cardboard coffin

     Am7                   Em                       C
     It doesn't have to be fine, she's ahead of the line

                         G           D
     And doesn't have to be here too often

     Am7            D
     She's making a play

     Am7            D        Bb   C   G
     She's taking a sick day soon
Drum fill and: Fade out over Am7 D
