Time Between Trains
View chords used in this chart
F# G#m
I'm waitin at the station
F#
I can choose my destination
G#m
I'm a free soul I got no chains
F#
But it's a long time between trains
F#
I took a long nap
G#m
I read a whole book
I got nice legs
F#
I got decent looks
F# G#m
And I'm not one who complains
F#
But it's a long time between trains
C# B F#
And who'd a'thought it all those years
C# B F#
That I would find myself back here
C# B F#
Feeling restless and ignored
G#
Starin at the schedule board
C#
Wondering why the fates above
F#
Always route love thru Miami
C# B F#
And sometimes lovers smile their smiles
C# B F#
While I count the ceiling tiles
C# B F#
And well give or take a few
G#
There's one thousand fifty two
C#
But that depends if you include
F#
The eighty eight out in the hall
F# G#m
Yes I'm waiting at the station
F#
With my old friend sublimation
F# G#m
You know the Wright boys designed planes
F#
Musta been a long time between trains
