Chords

[Intro] G C x4
C           G      D               G
Station was empty, Trains were all gone.

C             G           D          G
Reached in my pocket, And waited for dawn.
[Chorus]
C                G          D            G
The clock played drums, And I hummed the sax.

        C                       D        G
And the wind whistled down, The railroad tracks.

    C           G        D         G
Hey three for a quarter, One for a dime.

     C                      D             G
I'll bet it's tomorrow, By Rocky Mountain time.

C             G               D            G
Walked in the restaurant, For something to do

C               G          D          G
Waitress yelled at me, And so did the food

        C            G                  D             G
And the water tastes funny, When you're far from your home

         C                      D         G
But it's only the thirsty, That hunger to roam
(Repeat Chorus)
      F                    G
We'll build us a castle on Main Street

    F                              G
And pretend that we're down on the farm

      F                            G
Hell, we'll hold out as long as we have to

           A                      D
Then we'll twist off each other's arm

G             C            G
Christ I'm so mixed up and lonely

        C         CM7             G
I can't even make friends with my brain

        C        CM7           G
I'm too young to be where I'm going

        C        CM7        G
But I'm too old to go back again

C           G      D               G
Station was empty, Trains were all gone.

C             G           D          G
Reached in my pocket, And waited for dawn.
(Repeat Chorus)
