[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
