[Verse 1]
ELooking out the window and Aseeing my life go Eby
C#mMany times I Efeel the joys, some Aothers where I Bcry
EWhat's my destination, AI still don't Eknow
The C#mtrain of life just Etakes me down, to Awhere the four winds Bblow
[Chorus]
ABut I'm Bnot aElone
AEveryone is Bgoing to meet its Edestiny
ASometimes it's Btough don't you Efeel the same
ABut I won't Bever miss that Etrain
[Verse 2]
EGreen the hills, the sky so blue, Apictures of those Eeyes
C#mWe have many Eprojects and Ashe'd become my Blife
EThe things have changed, Awaving hands gooEdbye
C#mYou can't alter Edestiny, not Aeven if you Btry
[Chorus]
AWe're Bnot aElone
AEveryone is Bsearching for his Egravity
ASometimes it's Btough don't you Efeel the same
AWe won't Bever miss that Etrain, do we
[Bridge]
F#mPassing through stations I've Enever seen before
And AI'll never see them Eagain
F#mReach out my hands for Enew things to come
AOver and over and Bover again, but I won't ever miss that Etrain
[Verse 3]
Still Elooking out the window and Aseeing my life go Eby
C#mMany times I Efeel the joys, some Aothers where I Bcry
EWhat destination, haA, now I Eknow
But the C#mtrain of life just Ebrings me down to Awhere the four winds Bblow
[Chorus]
ABut I'm Bnot aElone
AEveryone is Bgoing to meet its Edestiny
ASometimes it's Btough don't you Efeel the same
ABut I won't Bever miss that Etrain, oh, I won't ever miss that train
