      E                 F#7            F#m
i got in a tussle
F#m         B                    E
with a stranger on the train
E                       F#7            F#m
his face was familiar
F#m       B                      G#m
but i couldn't place the name
G#m             C#
it got to be ugly
C#                 G#m
threats were made
G#m              C#                        B
i hope that no-one who could see
       Bbm                             A      G#
would be someone who'd know you

E                      F#7            F#m
i had a small run-in
F#m         B                 E
with a driver and his wife
E                       F#7              F#m
you might call it road rage
F#m       B                      G#m
but the guy outdid the light
G#m             C#
conceding nothing
C#              G#m
i held my ground
G#m                     C# 
and now that it's over
         B                     Bb
i've said that there must be 
 A      G#      C#    
a better way

C#               C#m
i keep it in mind
C#                         C#m
eight times out of nine
C#                       C#m
i'm wrong or i'm right
F#                       C#m
it's not worth a fight
C#                        C#m
but what's hard to define
C#                         C#m
makes it tough to decide
C#              C#m
you don't realize
F#                       G#
until after it has begun
F#                       G#
whether this is the one

E                          F#7        F#m     B
i probably knew better
E                          F#7        F#m     B
i probably knew better

G#m             C#
conceding nothing
C#              G#m
i held my ground
G#m                     C# 
and now that it's over
         B                    Bbm

 A      G#      C#

F#                       C#m
it's not worth a fight
C#                        C#m
