about

I spent a couple of months working on this song.. off and on. I played it for my daughter and she had a couple of suggestions for words, then I sent it to Kip and he had some suggestions for lyrical changes. After that I sent it to Glenn Bladon, our principle guitar lead and he came up with some beautiful acoustic guitar parts. I include under lyrics, the open chording I use when playing the song-- James.

lyrics

{t:Subway Car}
(Capo 7 solo 9 duet)
[C][Am] x2

[C] A stolen look over a book, on a [Em]subway car
[C] Just a glance, a hint of romance from a[Em]far
Then the [F]clicky-clack of my [C]heart beating fast like a [G]runaway train
And a [F]glimpse of forever and [C]ever and never a[G]part

---------------------------- CHORUS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can see us on the [F]floor tonight, [G]swaying slow in the [Em]silver screen moon[Am]light
In a romantic [F]comedy starring [G]you and me in [Em]black and white[Am]
I really want to [F]take you there [G] I know the kind of [Em]love that we can [Am] share
Cause when the moment’s [F]right, I’ll hold you [G] tight, and love can take you [Am]there
When the moment’s [F] right, like here to[G]night, love can take you [C]there
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[C]In a beat we’re sharing a seat on a sub[Em]way car
[C]In a dream, a comical scene, there’s a [Em]spark
And our [F]bond is unspoken, a [C]love in slow motion, when I [G]call your name, in the pouring rain
Like a [F]mystery weaves, and [C]silently breathes, in the [G]dark

---------------------------- CHORUS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can see us on the [F]floor tonight, [G]swaying slow in the [Em]silver screen moon[Am]light
In a romantic [F]comedy starring [G]you and me in [Em]black and white[Am]
I really want to [F]take you there [G] I know the kind of [Em]love that we can [Am] share
Cause when the moment’s [F]right, I’ll hold you [G] tight, and love can take you [Am]there
When the moment’s [F] right, like here to[G]night, love can take you [C]there

Cause when the moment’s [F]right, I’ll hold you [G] tight, and love can take you [Am]there
When the moment’s [F] right, like here to[G]night, love can take you [C]there
