[Vanessa: Verse 1] D A The elevated train by my window D Doesn't faze me anymore G The rattling screams don't disrupt my dreams F#m G It's a lullaby, in its way D A The elevated train drives everyone insane D G But I don't mind, oh no D When I bring back boys G they can't tolerate the noise D And that's okay, F#m G 'cause I never let them stay [Chorus 1] G And one day, I'm hoppin' that elevated A D train and I'm riding away! A D It won't be long now! [Vanessa: Verse 2] D The boys around the way A holler at me when D I'm walking down the street G Their machismo pride doesn't break my stride— F#m G It's a compliment, so they say D A The boys around the way holler at me every D G day but I don't mind, oh no D G If I'm in the mood, it will not be with some dude F#m Who is whistling 'cause he has nothing to G say Or who's honking at me F#m from his Chevrolet!
