Verse ii

And here is the man pushing paper past her

Thinks of ways to make the day go faster

But the day goes on and on

He dreams of his lawn and all about

The pretty careerist the next cube over

The fat secretary the lunch-time lover

Till the Path train finally comes

The platforms full of bums again

Chorus II [same as I]

Solo over verse chords

Chorus III

And she's taking her time, as she's tossing a dime

At the man in the cardboard coffin

It doesn't have to be fine, she's ahead of the line

And doesn't have to be here too often

She's making a play

Bb - C - G [let ring, and false end]

She's taking a sick day soon

Drum fill and:

Fade out over Am7 - D

OK, there's some mistakes/simplifications in this one, but it ought to

get you started.
