Chords

[Intro] F# B F# [Verse 1]

F#
In the shadows of a darkened room

The shadow's gone despite the gloom

        B
And the soul that casted never made the grade

   F#
He tripped upon a tripping fence,

    D#m                 C#
The kind that time has cooked and then

     B
With symphonies and thoughts like sharpened darts

F#                     B          C#         F#
Trains don't stop your soul, they break your heart

[Verse 2]

F#
I'm dislocated and I'm full of fear

I stopped the train when no-one was near

     B
And dreamt a storm of children passed me by

F#
Singing song of not a care,

D#m             C#
Dancing in the open air

     B
And bloodstained in ths sunlight you were with them

    F#             B          C#      F#
And I have not the smallest thing to give them

[Verse 3]

F#
You must've forgotten how to play the game

Or danced with all the nearly lame

     B
But lord above or ground below me, listen

     F#
For all the time you lived you dreamt

     D#m          C#
And having always came you went

    B
I'm full of you although we're far apart

F#                     B          C#         F#
Trains don't stop your soul, they break your heart

[Verse 4]

     G# G#m B
Oh my deary me

     F#             C#
Has left me wanting more my friend

    G#m              B
And sovereign to the calendar

F#                  C#
Time and pace lost lavender

     G#m   F#        B
Lost rosemary, left charcoal black

     F#                C#
Left death so white and hay being stacked

     D#m      F#          B
But season's end brought spring again

     F#          D#m     C#  F#
And all before I blinked my friend
