'Cause you don't wanna fall asleep again
             Gbmaj7
Waking up at metropolitan

Was never part of the plan but it happened again

I don't know where I'm going, but I'll be fine

As long as you'll accept my alibi, my alibi

And I wish we could just take the train home one more time
         Ebm                              Db       Gb
And you'd fall asleep on my shoulder just one more time
         Ebm                  Db       Gb
Wake you up at your stop just one more time
           Ebm                       Db       Gb                        (nc)
