C D G Em
I'm sitting on a southbound train
C D G
Staring at the sky
C D G Em
I'm thinking of my childhood
C D
And I'm trying not to cry;
C D G
While a stranger sleeps against me,
C D G
And it feels like she's my wife.
C D G Em
The towns and cities flutter past
C D G
Like the pages of my life.
C D G Em
My heart is on the baggage rack,
C D G
It's heavy as can be.
C D G Em
I wish that I could find someone
C D
Who would carry it for me;
C D G Em
Just to pay it some attention
C D G Em
And to handle it with care
C D G
Because it has been dropped and
Em C D G
Is in need of some repair.
C D G Em
Some things I know,
C D G Em
Some things I guess,
C D G Em C D
Some things I wish I could learn to express,
C D G Em C D G Em
Like the way that I feel as I stare at the sky,
C D G Em C D G
And I remember your voice and the sound of your goodbye.
C D G Em
Maybe it's the autumn chill,
C D G
Maybe it's the rain,
C D G Em
Maybe I could wake the stranger
C D
And ask her for her name.
C D G Em
But my eyes, they would betray me,
C D G
And my words could not defend.
C D G Em
No I must learn to wait my turn
C D G
Before I love again
C D G Em
Some things I know,
C D G Em
Some things I guess,
C D G Em C D
Some things I wish I could learn to express,
C D G Em C D G Em
Like the way that I feel as I stare at the sky,
C D G Em C D G
And I remember your voice and the sound of your goodbye.
