Intro Riff 1 [2x] Verse 1 Riff 1 Riff 1 Oh, I guess they'll say I've grown
                                  G5/E
I know more than I wanted to know

       A7                        D7sus4
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
               G5/E                Csus2     Riff 1
That home is a place you can still get to by train
Post-Chorus 1
       G5/E
So I'm looking out the window

        A7
And I'm drifting off to sleep

        G5/E                           Csus2
With my face pressed up against the pane

         Gsus2
With the rhythm of my heart

      Csus2
And a ringing in my ears

         D7sus4*                 Riff 1 [2x]
It's the rhythm of my southbound train
Bridge
Gsus2                                     Csus2
Oh, well the wind starts to look like her hair

                                   D7sus4*
And the clouds in her bright blue eyes

                                  Csus2
As the sea and the shore fall and rise

                                      Gsus2
Like her breast as she breathes by my side
And the moon is her lips
       Csus2                        D7sus4*
As the sun is headed on down to the sea

                                 Csus2
Like her head as she lays down on me
Until we reach ocean side Post-Chorus 2
G5/E
Over and over

  Csus2
I hear the same refrain

         Gsus2
It's the rhythm of my heart

       Csus2
And my sleepy girl's breathing

         D7sus4*                 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
                             G5/E
Or maybe I'm just feeling old

       A7                     D7sus4
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
               G5/E            Csus2           Riff 1
That home is a place that will ever be the same
Post-Chorus 3
      G5/E
So we gathering up our things

       A7
And we head out in the cold

    G5/E                               D7sus4
And your eyes are where you carry the pain

       Gsus2
When I hear the whistle weeping

     Csus2
It's crying to the sky

         D7sus4*                 Csus2
It's the rhythm of my southbound train

         D7sus4                  Riff 1 [2x]
It's the rhythm of my southbound train
