E                 D 
I saw you sitting all by yourself, 
 
       F#m                A 
With a coffee and The New York Times. 
 
E                   D 
You got me thinking like what the hell 
 
F#m                    A 
Before I go and change my mind.

Hey you, feel like falling in love on a subway train.

If life is a small town, we?re just passing through

verse 2 
E            D 
Just another pair of old black boots, 
 
         F#m                A 
With the jacket on and a ticket home. 
 
E              D 
Just a dreamer on a Sunday night 
 
       F#m             A 
Who is gonna leave you alone.

Bridge 
E                    D 
We don?t have to say forever, 
 
              F#m 
I?m cool with whatever, 
 
               A 
Love is coping. 
 
E                       D 
We can just sit here at night, 
 
                          Bm 
Just two strangers in the night, 
 
                                  E 
Ain't that what we're supposed to do?
