Intro: E B A Am
verse 1
E B
I choose me, and I know that’s selfish, love
A
You are a dream, and I can’t thank you enough
But I give another piece of me away
Am
Every waking day that I’m with you
E B
Am I a monster? What will your family think of me?
A
They brought me in, they helped me out with everything
But I give a little piece of me away
Am
Every single day
[Refrão]E B
So I pick up the pieces, I get on the midnight train
A
I got my reasons, but darling I can’t explain
I’ll always love you
Am
But tonight’s the night I choose to walk away
E B
Bah-bah, doo, bah-bah, doo
A Am
Bah-bah, doo, bah-bah, doo
verse 2
E B
Love you so much that I have to let you go
A
I’ll miss your touch and the secrets we both know
But it would be wrong for me to stay
Am
And I’ll just give you hope
[Refrão]E B
So I pick up the pieces, I get on the midnight train
A
I got my reasons, but darling I can’t explain
I’ll always love you
Am
But tonight’s the night I choose to walk away
E B
I can’t stop crying, I hate that I’ve caused you pain
A
But I can’t deny it, I just don’t feel the same
I’ll always love you
Am
But tonight’s the night I choose to walk away
E B
Bah-bah, doo, bah-bah, doo
A Am
Bah-bah, doo, bah-bah, doo
E B
So I pick up the pieces, I get on the midnight train
A
I got my reasons, but darling I can’t explain
I’ll always love you
Am E
But tonight’s the night I choose to walk away
