Gsound of its wind blowing tFhrough Gour subtle livesC  
and i have a job to do Gwalking these cars
walking Fall asleep Gto get to youC  
but I don't Amfeel your stir Cbeside me

Gsome stalks grow high and green to Frot awayG  
and feel the waCke
Cand these lines tell the truth
Gthese city veins answer aFll you doG  C  
so could you keAmep me in the pulCses

Capo 2

I hear the train all night

G F G C

sound of its wind blowing through our subtle lives

and i have a job to do walking these cars

F G C

walking all asleep to get to you

Am C

but I don't feel your stir beside me

Am G

and your not in my morning hour

some ties are made to break

G F G

some stalks grow high and green to rot away

and feel the wake

and these lines tell the truth

G F G C

these city veins answer all you do

Am C

so could you keep me in the pulses

Am G

could you keep me in the sound

C G

i got wise and I got old

F G

not once, not once did I fall

so don't you know

maybe you bet on me

G F G

while we were still young enough to know

or to believe

for every year you took

G F G

for every soft breathe or loving look

believe me

Am C

and dont keep me like you have me

Am G

and dont kiss me like you don't

C G

I got wise and I got old

F G

not once, not once did I fall

so dont you now

some land holds a home

G F G

some of my years only hold

me to Rome

but I tell myself its true

G F G

you see a home you see a man

you see it too

Am C

and I say don't you know you have her

Am G

go on kiss her now you boy

C G

i got wise and I got old

F G

not once, not once did I fall

so don't you know

C G

i got wise and I got old

F G

not once, not once did I fall

so don't you know
