The Wrong Train
Verse

Chorus
Bb(LaFst time)
Bb(thFat Cwasn't what was wrong)
Bb F C Dm
End on
Dm
You howled like a wolf 
You howled like a child 
You howled like a ghost from the grave 
I came to your closet door, 
you were in there on the floor 
I said "open up" and you said “go away!"
And you howled, and you howled 
You howled all night long
I pretended not to hear you 
I didn't know what was wrong! 
When the next day came, well, 
you were on your way 
You didn't take much, 
just a couple of things 
And you didn't leave a note, 
but I knew you had to go 
You had to go and try to find anything. 
I just wished and I’d hoped you'd be OK 
I just wished and I’d hoped you'd be OK 
And I knew that you would be back here again one day. 
I got a call from the hospital 
They said you broke your arm hopping off a train 
You hadn't made it very far before you ran into bad luck 
So I borrowed a car, I came and picked you up 
I brought you home, I brought you home
I brought you home, I brought you home
With bruises on your face, that cast on your arm,
and a cut across your nose. 
You said "let me explain, I was on the wrong train
It was heading the wrong way so I jumped off"
And I said "that's insane, 
you could have died out there that day 
Why wouldn't you just wait until it stopped?"
And you howled, and you howled 
Out in that cold field where you lay.
You said "what could I do, 
I was on the wrong train" 
So you made it to your feet, 
You walked along those barren trees 
You followed power lines until you found the road. 
And the first car that came by, 
they saw you and they stopped 
It was a rabbit hunter and his friend the cop.
And they dropped you off outside the hospital 
They gave you pills for the pain, 
they put that cast on your arm 
But the howling never stops!
Because that wasn't what was wrong,
No that wasn't what was wrong,
No that wasn't what was wrong with you at all.

The Wrong Train

Verse

Dm C Bb F

Chorus

Bb F

(Last time)

Bb F C

(that wasn't what was wrong)

Bb F C Dm

End on

You howled like a wolf

You howled like a child

You howled like a ghost from the grave

I came to your closet door,

you were in there on the floor

I said "open up" and you said “go away!"

And you howled, and you howled

You howled all night long

I pretended not to hear you

I didn't know what was wrong!

When the next day came, well,

you were on your way

You didn't take much,

just a couple of things

And you didn't leave a note,

but I knew you had to go

You had to go and try to find anything.

I just wished and I’d hoped you'd be OK

And I knew that you would be back here again one day.

I got a call from the hospital

They said you broke your arm hopping off a train

You hadn't made it very far before you ran into bad luck

So I borrowed a car, I came and picked you up

I brought you home, I brought you home

With bruises on your face, that cast on your arm,

and a cut across your nose.

You said "let me explain, I was on the wrong train

It was heading the wrong way so I jumped off"

And I said "that's insane,

you could have died out there that day

Why wouldn't you just wait until it stopped?"

And you howled, and you howled

Out in that cold field where you lay.

You said "what could I do,

I was on the wrong train"

So you made it to your feet,

You walked along those barren trees

You followed power lines until you found the road.

And the first car that came by,

they saw you and they stopped

It was a rabbit hunter and his friend the cop.

And they dropped you off outside the hospital

They gave you pills for the pain,

they put that cast on your arm

But the howling never stops!

Because that wasn't what was wrong,

No that wasn't what was wrong,

No that wasn't what was wrong with you at all.
