[Verse 1]
  CYou're not listening
  CAnd all my words are lost Ambut foundF  
  CWe both want something new
  CI'll take the sky you keep tAmhe groundF  
  FWe can bend and we can break
  CWe can learn to give and take
  AmDo you have the friends to start Ga war
  FWhat bridges should I burn
  CGive me a chance to live and learn
  AmThere's still so much left to expGloreG  
[Chorus]
  CWe were moving so fast for so long
  CNever taking any hits from no one
  AmAnd you've got running on tFhe brain
  CStill running from the place where the sun dies
  CTake a track to the city where our hearts lie
  AmThough our journey's still the Fsame
  We're just strangers on a tCrain
[Verse 2]
  CClose your restless eyes
  CI've seen them wander far Amtoo muchF  
  CIt's hard to sympathize
  Cwhen it's not me who's losinAmg touchF  
  FIs there a joke you need to make?
  CIs there a smile you need to fake?
  AmYou cut so deep, you hit thGe bone
  FIs there a flame you need to light?
  CIs there a neck you need to bite?
  Amwhat does it take to guide you hGome?G  
[Chorus]
  CWe were moving so fast for so long
  CNever taking any hits from no one
  AmAnd you've got running on thFe brain
  CStill running from the place where the sun dies
  CTake a track to the city where our hearts lie
  AmThough our journey's still the Fsame
  We're just strangers on a CtrainC  Am  F

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

You're not listening

C Am F

And all my words are lost but found

We both want something new

C Am F

I'll take the sky you keep the ground

We can bend and we can break

We can learn to give and take

Am G

Do you have the friends to start a war

What bridges should I burn

Give me a chance to live and learn

Am G G

There's still so much left to explore

[Chorus]

We were moving so fast for so long

Never taking any hits from no one

Am F

And you've got running on the brain

Still running from the place where the sun dies

Take a track to the city where our hearts lie

Am F

Though our journey's still the same

We're just strangers on a train

[Verse 2]

Close your restless eyes

C Am F

I've seen them wander far too much

It's hard to sympathize

C Am F

when it's not me who's losing touch

Is there a joke you need to make?

Is there a smile you need to fake?

Am G

You cut so deep, you hit the bone

Is there a flame you need to light?

Is there a neck you need to bite?

Am G G

what does it take to guide you home?

[Chorus]

We were moving so fast for so long

Never taking any hits from no one

Am F

And you've got running on the brain

Still running from the place where the sun dies

Take a track to the city where our hearts lie

Am F

Though our journey's still the same

C C Am F

We're just strangers on a train

[Bridge]

If you got love, hold it high

Hold your heart up in the sky

Let it shine

If you got love, sing it loud

Hold your heart up in the crowd

Let it shine

If you got love, set it free

Hold your heart in front of me

Let it shine

If you got love, hold it high

Hold your heart up in the sky

Let it shine

C C

Just let it shine

Am F

Let it shine

C C

just let it shine

Am F

just let it shine

C C

let it shine

Am F

let it shine
