[Am]
[F] [G] [C]
[F] [Am] [G]
[C] I'm sitting [Bb] on [F] a southbound train
[C]
Staring at [F] the sky
[C] I'm thinking [Bb] of [F] my childhood
[Gm] And I'm trying not [C] to cry
[Dm] While a stranger sleeps [Am] against me
[D] And it [A] feels like [C] I'm his wife
Towns and [F] cities flutter [Dm] past
[Gm] Like the pages of [F] my mind
[G] [F] My heart [Bb] is on [F] the baggage rack
[C] It's heavy [Bb] as [F] can be
[C] I wish that [Bb] I could [F] find someone
[Gm] Who would [C] carry it for me
Just [Dm] to pay its all [Am] attention
And [Dm] to handle it [C] with care
Because it [Bb] has been [F] dropped
And [Dm] is in need [C] of some [F] repair
Some [Bb] [C] things [F] I know
[Bb] Some [F] things I guess
[G] [Bb] Some things [Am] I wish [A] that I [Gm] could learn
To [C] express [Db] like [Dm] the way that [Am] I feel
[Bb] As I [Am] stare at [Dm] the sky
And [Bb] I remember your [F] voice
And the [Gm] sound [C]
of [F] goodbye
[Am]
[F] [G]
[C] [F]
[G]
[F] [G] Ah,
[F] ah, [G] [F]
[G] ah, [F] [C] ah
Oh maybe [Bb] it's [F] the autumn chill
[C]
Maybe [F] it's the rain
[C]
[Bb] Maybe I [F] should wake the [Gm] stranger
And ask him [C] his name
[Dm] But my eyes, they would [Am] betray me
[Dm] And my words could not [C] defeat him
No, I [Bb] must learn [F] to wait my [Dm] turn
[Gm] Before I [C] love [F] again
[G] [Bb] [C] Some things [F] I know
[Bb] Some [C]
things [F] I guess
[Bb] Some things [Am] I wish [A] that I could [Gm] learn
To [C] express [A] like [Dm] the way [D]
[Am] I feel
As [Bb] I stare [C] at the [Dm] sky
And I [Bb] remember your [F] voice
And [Gm] the sound [C] of [F] goodbye
[G]
[F] [G] Ah, [F]
[C] ah, [F] [C] ah, ah
[F]
