E           B       A
You know today I stayed on the bus
           C#m                 D            A
Oh yeah I waited and waited until I was at your stop
E           B               A
The driver said to me just don't make a fuss
                  C#m                      D      A
And I said in the end you've taken all my money, my friend

Chorus:
F#m    B           G#m          C#m               F#m
But ow ow, yes you love it as I take you on when you`re down
       B              G#m            C#m            F#m
And ow ow, something happened and now I can't sing along
       B           G#m          C#m                    F#m
And ow ow, yes you hate it as I try to get under your skin
       B              G#m            C#m            F#m
And ow ow, something happened and now I can't sing along

But you know today I stayed on the train
Oh yes I waited and waited until I could not refrain
The driver said to me just don't make a fuss like you did on the bus
In the end you've taken all my money, you're not my friend

Chorus:
But ow ow, yes you love it as you take me on when I'm down
And ow ow, something happened and now I can't sing along
And ow ow, yes you love it as you try to get under my skin
And ow ow
