[For the next line two lines you can either repeat Gm > Dm > Eb7 > D7 > Ebm, holding out the last chord until "money," or you can sing along to the introductory melody as shown below] But that one guy on the train all talking to himself, shit he's talking to e|-----3------------------------1------------1----------| B|-----3-------3----------4-----3--------------4-2-1----| G|-----3--2-0--2----------3-----0h2-0-----3-------------| D|-------------3--2-0-----5--0--------3-4---------------| A|----------------------6-------------------------------| E|------------------------------------------------------| me, he's saying "At school they taught me a prayer for e|-----------1----------1---------1----------1-------| B|---------2---2------2---2------2--2------2---2-----| G|---3---3------3---3------3---3-----3---3-----------| D|-----4----------4----------4---------4-------------| A|---------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------|
