[Bridge]
Bm/G A G D She turns from her window to me
G F#m Asus4/2
Sad smile her apology
G
Sad eyes reaching to the door[Verse 2]
D E7/D Em/D D Daylight loses to another evening G/D D E7/D Em/D And still she spares me the word goodbye D E7/D Em/D D And sits alone beside me fighting her feelings G/D D Em/D D Struggles to speak but in the end can only cry
[Bridge]
Bm/G A G D Suddenly its so hard to find
G F#m Asus4/2
The sound of the words to speak her troubled mind
G F#m Asus4/2
So I'm offering these to her as if to be kind:
[Chorus]
D G/D Em/D D There's a train everyday leaving either way D E7/D Em/D There's a world, you know D D9 There's a way to go G A Bm A And you'll soon be gone - that's just as well G This is my opening farewell D D9 G A Bm A G (figure 1) [2x]
[Verse 3]
D E7/D Em/D D A child's drawings left there on the table G/D D E7/D Em/D And a woman's silk lying on the floor D E7/D Em/D D And I would keep them here if I were able G/D D Em/D D Lock her safe behind this open door
[Bridge]
Bm/G A G D But suddenly it's so clear to me
G F#m Asus4/2
That I'd asked her to see what she may never see
G F#m Asus4/2
And now my kind words find their way back to me
[Chorus]
D G/D Em/D D There's a train everyday leaving either way D E7/D Em/D There's a world, you know D D9 You got a way's to go G A Bm A And I'll soon believe - it's just as well G This is my opening farewell
[Outro]
