[Intro] C/G Am C/G Am [Verse 1]
C/G    Am
By the time you leave

        C/G           Am
I'll be saving all my green

      C/G                Am
For a homebound train to carry me

   F            Am
On old familiar steam

C/G            Am
I   wish you'd hurry up

    C/G            Am
And leave or come around

         C/G            Am
Well the moon is waning hard tonight

    F              Am
I'm leaving my hometown
[Chorus 1]
        F                      C/G
And the train rolls on with no pilot

        G                   Am
And the station's left me I know

       F                    C/G
But if you should happen to find it

                G             G7
Please bring it home, bring it home
[Verse 2]
C/G       Am
I traded all my stops

      C/G            Am
For a pillow made of rails

      C/G          Am
In an empty room I listen to

    F              Am
The lonely whistle wails

C/G      Am
I    woke up to feet

       C/G             Am
That I took to be your shoes

        C/G                   Am
And the train lay tracks that deafened me

F                Am
Shook my insides loose
[Chorus 2]
        F                      C/G
And the train rolls on with no pilot

        G                   Am
And the station's left me I know

       F                    C/G
But if you should happen to find it

                G             G7
Please bring it home, bring it home

        F                 C/G
And the point of all this living

       G              Am
Is the dying still to come

    F          C/G
And I could be forgiven

           G            G7
But I just won't, I just won't
[Outro] C/G Am C/G Am
C/G  Am   F   Am
(Repeat and fade)
