Jackson Park Express

D             C
Tuesday morning, 8:15

      D
I was riding to work on the

G              F
Jackson Park Express

D               C
Seemed like any other day

D       
Then my whole world changed

G          F                A
In a way I never could have guessed

                 G
Cause she walked in, oh oh oh oh oh

A                    C         G
Took the seat right across the aisle

A               G
I knew we had a special connection

A            C
The second I saw her smile


G             A
She smiled as if to say

 D              A/C#            Bm
"Hello, Haven't seen you on this bus before"

G            A
I gave her a look that said

      D       A/C#       Bm         Bm7       Em
"Huh, Life is funny, you never know what's in store

       G                 A
By the way, your hair is beautiful

                     C   D
I bet it smells like raisins"

G             C                D
She looked at me in a way that asked

                            Bm
"Did you have a nose job or something?

C        G                  C          G     C  Bb
I'm only asking, cause your nose looks slightly better
         A
Than the rest of your face"

Am          G                F
I arched my eyebrow, ever so slightly
             
             A      G  A
Which was my way of asking

D       D/C     D/B         D/A     G
"Do you want my old Hewlett-Packard printer?

                G F
It still works, Kinda

D     D/C   D/B          D/A        G      E
And I got a bunch of ink cartridges left"

A                   D    A
Then, she let out a long sigh

G                A
Which, I took to mean, "Uh"

       D            G                A
"Mama, What is that deodorant you're wearing?

A       
It's intoxicating

D            G                E          F#
Why don't we drive out to the country sometime?

       G               A             G  G/F#  G/E    D
And collect deer ticks in a zip-lock baggie", Oh yeah

F#   F#7

Bm           G           D
I gave her a penetrating stare

F#      
Which could only mean

D           G  D                 G    D
"You are my answer, my answer to everything

         F                  C
Which is why, I'll probably do very poorly

       G                  D
On the written part of my driver's test"

C  G  A  D

D
Yes, It all happened
       C       G    D
On the Jackson Park Express

       C       G    D
On the Jackson Park Express

       C       G    D
On the Jackson Park Express

       C       G    D
On the Jackson Park Express

D  C  D

A              G
I knew she was starting to fall for me

A                                               D
Cause she crinkled her nose, which unmistakably meant

D           C                 Bb
"Baby, lets wear each other's clothes

               A
And speak in a fake German accent

     Bb                   F       C    Dm
And, maybe someday we can own and operate

Dm      Bb         C        F        A
Our own mobile pet-grooming service"

Dm              Bb
I couldn't hold back my feelings

  F                    C      Dm
I gave her a look that said

D#                Bb                 F
"I would make any sacrifice for your love

F
Goat, chicken, whatever

D#            Bb             F
I could never hold you close enough

F                                          D#  Bb
Let's have our bodies surgically grafted together

F       
Oh, surgically grafted together"

F#                G#                     Fm         Bbm
She picked up her newspaper, and started reading to herself


          B           F#     G#
Which I'm sure, was a way of telling me

C#           B
"When you're cold, I will warm you

C#          B
When you're shivering, I will hold you

C#        B                         F#
When you’re nauseous, I will give you Pepto-Bismol every hour

F#                             E
For as long as the symptoms persist"

C   G           D                    B
Oh, I, I never, ever want to see you cry

Em  C             G              D                  C
So, please let me cauterize your tear ducts with an arc welder

G               D            A            F#
Then, I glanced down, at her shirt, for a second

Bm   G                D
In a way that clearly implied

A                     G   D
"I like your boobs”

C  G  A  D

D
Yes, It all happened

       C       G    D
On the Jackson Park Express

       C       G    D
On the Jackson Park Express

       C       G    D
On the Jackson Park Express

       C       G    D
On the Jackson Park Express

D  C  D

F                   G            Em             Am
I cleared my throat quietly, and then, I looked away

        Bb                                   F                C
And I'm sure it was obvious to her, just what I was trying to say

                     D#
I was trying to say, "Hey

            Bb                F            C                 D#
I'd like to make a wall-sized mural out of all the dead skin cells

         Bb                   F
That you slough off while you sleep at night"

                       D#            Bb     F
Whoa-o-Oh, "I'd like to rip you wide open

F   C                 D#            Bb            F
And french-kiss every single one of your internal organs

               D#               Bb              F
Oh, I'd like to remove all your skin, and wear your skin, over my own skin

D#  Bb                    F
But not in a creepy way"

          G#               D#                       Bb            F
Then, I'm pretty sure, she looked at me, out of the corner of her good eye

     G#                D#                    F              Bb
And, though, she never spoke a word, this is exactly what I heard

                 D#
She was saying, "Oh!

             G#                    C#      G#
I wanna make out with you, in an abandoned toll-booth,

       C#     G#      D#
In the middle of a monsoon

             G#                        C#   G#
I wanna ride dolphins with you, in the moonlight

          C#       G#                 D#
Until the staff at Sea World kicks us out

            G#       C# G#       D#
I want you inside me, oh, like a tapeworm"

E                A                      B          G#
I pointed to the side of my mouth, as a way of indicating

A       E                              B
"Hey, I think you got something on the side of your mouth"

G#             C#m         C#m/B      A
She licked the corner of her lips, as if to say

        E/G#       B/A                  E
"Here?", I nodded, implying, "Yeah, you got it"

              A   E           B                   G#          C#m
And, then the bus stopped, at 53rd Street, and she got up suddenly

               A   E   B
"Where are you going?” pleaded my eyes,

      G#                   C#m
"Baby, don't you do this to me

C                      G                 D        C
Think of the beautiful children we could have someday

                        G                D            Em
We could school them at home, Raise them up the right way

       F                               C
And protect them from the evils of the world

          B7                Em       C     G
Like Trigonometry and Prime Numbers, oh oh no

      D            G
Baby, please don't go"

Am             C                    Am
She brushed my leg, as she left the bus

Am
I'm sure that was her way of saying

G               G7                 C
"I'm sorry this just isn't working out

       D
You're suffocating me

G           G7                     C          D
I need some space to find out what life's all about

            Em      F         G
So, goodbye forever,(ahah) my love"

    G    D              A
And deep inside, I knew she was right

       G           D            A
It was time for us both to move on

C             G             D
And though, I never got her number, oh no no

C         G                       D
She never bothered to leave her address, oh

        C         G                   A
But, as long as I live, I'll never forget

                          D
Those precious moments we shared together

       C       G    D
On the Jackson Park Express

       C       G    D
On the Jackson Park Express

       C       G    D
