    C                                D/C
I’m al-ways running behind the time

              G7sus4       C
Just like this      train

F7
   Shaking into town

Am                         C       G
   With the brakes com-plai-ning

D/C                                      C
    I used to count lovers like railroad  cars

I counted them on my side

F7                       Am7
Late-ly I don’t count on noth-ing

                 C
I just let things slide

            G                       F/G
The station mas-ter’s shuffling cards

             G
Box cars are bang-ing in the yards

Jealous lovin’ll make you crazy If you can’t find your goodness

F7                        D9   Gm9   C
  ‘Cause you lost your heart

A – Bb – B – C – C# - D – C A – Bb – B - C

       C
I went look-ing for a cause

Or a strong cat without claws

  D/C                G7sus4
Or   any reason to re-    -sume

    C F7
And I   found this empty seat

Am                       C
  In this crowded waiting room

G
Ev-erybody waiting

D/C                         C
    Old man sleeping on his  bags

Women with that teased-up kind of hair

F7                       Am
Kids with the jitters in their legs

               C
And those wide, wide open stares

                 G                      F/G
And the kids got Cokes and chocolate bars

                   G
There’s a thin man smo-king a fat cigar

Jealous lovin’ll make you crazy If you can’t find your goodness

F7                        D9
  ‘Cause you lost your heart

Gm7
    What are you gonna do now?

                                      C
You’ve got no one to give your love to

A – Bb – B – C – C# - D – C A – Bb – B – C

      C
Well, I’ve got this berth

And this roll-down blind

D/C                      G7sus4
   I’ve got this fold-up sink

    C     F7                    Am
And these rocks and cactuses go-ing by

      C                               G
And a bottle of German wine to drink

D/C                               C
    Settle down into the clickety-clack

With the clouds and the stars to read

F7                            Am
Dream-ing of the pleasure I’m gon-na have

              C
Watching your hair-line recede

My vain darling

              G                       G13
Watching your hair and clouds and stars

                G                G13
I’m rocking away in a sleeping car

                G                           G13
This jealous lov-ing’s bound to make me cra-zy

                F7                      D9
I can’t find my good-ness, I lost my heart

             Gm7                      C
Oh, sour grapes, because I lost my heart

A – Bb – B – C – C# - D – C A – Bb – B – C – C# - D – C A – Bb – B – C – C#
