Intro Riff 1 [2x] Verse 1 Riff 1 Riff 1 Oh, I guess they'll say I've grown

                                  D5/B
I know more than I wanted to know

       E7                        A7sus4
I said more, than I wanted to say

Chorus 1 Riff 1 I'm headed home Riff 1 Yeah, but I'm not so sure

               D5/B                Gsus2     Riff 1
That home is a place you can still get to by train

Post-Chorus 1

       D5/B
So I'm looking out the window

        E7
And I'm drifting off to sleep

        D5/B                           Gsus2
With my face pressed up against the pane

         Dsus2
With the rhythm of my heart

      Gsus2
And a ringing in my ears

         A7sus4*                 Riff 1 [2x]
It's the rhythm of my southbound train

Bridge

Dsus2                                     Gsus2
Oh, well the wind starts to look like her hair

                                   A7sus4*
And the clouds in her bright blue eyes

                                  Gsus2
As the sea and the shore fall and rise

                                      Dsus2
Like her breast as she breathes by my side

And the moon is her lips

       Gsus2                        A7sus4*
As the sun is headed on down to the sea

                                 Gsus2
Like her head as she lays down on me

Until we reach ocean side Post-Chorus 2

D5/B
Over and over

  Gsus2
I hear the same refrain

         Dsus2
It's the rhythm of my heart

       Gsus2
And my sleepy girl's breathing

         A7sus4*                 Riff 2 [2x]
It's the rhythm of my southbound train

Verse 2 Riff 1 Riff 1 Oh, I guess they'll say I should have known

                             D5/B
Or maybe I'm just feeling old

       E7                     A7sus4
Like a lawyer with no one to blame

Chorus 2 Riff 1 I'm headed home Riff 1 Yeah, but I'm not so sure

               D5/B            Gsus2           Riff 1
That home is a place that will ever be the same

Post-Chorus 3

      D5/B
So we gathering up our things

       E7
And we head out in the cold

    D5/B                               A7sus4
And your eyes are where you carry the pain

       Dsus2
When I hear the whistle weeping

     Gsus2
It's crying to the sky

         A7sus4*                 Gsus2
It's the rhythm of my southbound train

         A7sus4                  Riff 1 [2x]
It's the rhythm of my southbound train
