[intro]
Am G Am G F G F G
The way I see it, it's one for all, and all for none
Am G Am G F G F G
The way I see it, there's some who care, but most will run
F F G G
Away from the lights that shine too bright
F F G G Am G Am G F F E E
And scurry off into the cracks of the night
Am Am G G F
Maybe in another place and time
F G G
You coulda shown a little more patience
Am Am G G F
And you coulda told me what was there on your mind
F G G
Instead of up and heading for the station
F F G G
Now this is my last stop before the road
F F G G Am G Am G F G F G
And I'm sorry that my love was such a heavy load
The way I see it, fathers hand down to their only sons
The way I see it, I'm far too small and much too young
To change your mind of any kind
To make you stop and turn around and see what you left behind
Maybe in another place and time
You coulda shown a little more patience
And you coulda told me what was there on your mind
Instead of up and heading for the station
Now this is my last stop before the road
And I'm sorry that my love was such a heavy load
Am G Am G F G F G
[guitar solo]
Am G Am G F F E E
[guitar solo]
The way I see it, the dawn will come with a new light
The way I see it, I can't be scared of what I can't fight
This midnight train can take me anywhere
Except away from the memory of one who will never care
Maybe in another place and time
You coulda shown a little more patience
Well you coulda told me what was there on your mind
Instead of up and heading for the station
Now this is my last stop before the road
And I'm sorry that my love was such a heavy load
Am G Am G F G F G
