[Intro] D5 C5 D5 C5 D5 C5 D5 C5 D5 C5 D5 C5 D5 C5 D5 C5 [Verse 1]
D5       C5
And it's passing strange

D5       C5               D5
And I'm waiting for the train

D5       C5             D5       C5
Caught up on this line again

D5       C5
And it's passing slowly

D5       C5
Killing time, but it's

D5       C5
Better than living in what will come

D5       C5
And I've still got some of your letters with me

D5                            C5
And I thought sometimes, or I read too much

D5       C5
And I think you know

D5                 C5
Let's drink to the dead lying under the water

D5                               C5
And the cost of the blood on the driven snow

D5                      C5
And the lipstick on my cigarettes

D5               C5
Frost upon the windowpane

D5         C5                      D5         C5
Nine while nine, and I'm waiting

D5       C5
For the train....
[Interlude] D5 C5 D5 C5 D5 C5 D5 C5 [Verse 2]
D5                          C5                    D5
She said, "Do you remember a time when angels

D5                 C5             D5
Do you remember a time when fear

D5               C5       D5
In the days when I was stronger

D5                C5              D5
In the days when you were here," she said

D5             C5              D5
"When days had no beginning

D5             C5
While days had no end

      D5      C5
When shadows grew no longer

   D5           C5
I knew no other friend but you

     D5      C5 D5 C5
Were wild

          D5        C5 D5 C5
You were wild...."
[Verse 3]
D5                  C5       D5               C5
Frost upon these cigarettes Lipstick on the windowpane

          D5                   C5
And I've lost all sense of the world outside

      D5                  C5
But I can't forget, so I call your name

       D5              C5
And I'm looking for a life for me

       D5              C5
And I'm looking for a life for you

       D5             C5
And I'm talking to myself again

         D5                  C5
And it's so damn cold, it's just not true

        D5         C5
And I'm walking... through the rain

D5                    C5
Trying to hold on... waiting for the train

        D5                C5
And I'm only looking for what you want

D5                          C5
But it's lonely here, and I think you knew

D5         C5                    D5
And I'm
[Chorus]
C5
    And I'm waiting

D5       C5
   And I wait in vain

D5          C5
Nine while nine, and I'm waiting

D5  C5       D5
    For the train
[Chorus]
C5
    And I'm waiting

D5       C5
   And I wait in vain

D5          C5
Nine while nine, and I'm waiting

D5  C5       D5
    For the train
[Chorus]
C5
    And I'm waiting

D5       C5
   And I wait in vain

D5          C5
Nine while nine, and I'm waiting

D5  C5       D5
    For the train
