D#/A#                 A#
Good evening shuttle bus
                                F
Tell me where you're gonna take us
                              D#
Someplace that I have never been
     Gm                         Gsus4
It's chic transportation to new destination
     Fsus4                           F
Where I leave my reflection on the glass

I'd ask, but we don't know how far these
interstates go
Or how deep the city roots go down
In chilly sub-depth railways,
the weathered concrete stairways
Provide me with a means of getting home

           D#  F Cm A# D# F Cm A#
If I ever leave

Chorus:
D#   A#     F                     D#        Gm
On crystal sand we sleep hand in hand while soothing
 F
words

So many sights to see, so wake up
like an early birdie
And we'll get a head start on the day
Oh, stained-glass skyways and crowded
six lane highways
If I look back when I begin to leave,
will they remember me?
Circuit flights bend the lights when I am spent
And tour guides make happy brides feel heaven-sent

A# Dm A#
      Good evening shuttle bus
Fm        D#
Tell me where you're gonna take us

Chorus:
On crystal sand, we sleep hand-in-hand
While soothing words
On crystal sand, we sleep hand-in-hand
While soothing words hover like hummingbirds

Good evening, shuttle bus!
Tell me where you're gonna take us
