[Intro]

[Verse]
CStandin' in the station, I Fgot no destination, I'm Cwavin' my heart goodbye
I'm Fwalkin' in the crowd and I'm talkin' out loud, I'm tellin' myself don't Ccry
And GLord, I'd rather not forget what I forgot, but I Fguess I'm gonna have to Ctry
CStandin' in the station I Fgot no reservation, I'm Cwavin' my heart goodbye
I Fknow it's not to blame but it's leavin' just the same and nobody ever asked it Cwhy
GStandin' in the rain, wonderin' if the train will Fstop before the tears will Cdry
CStandin' in the station, it's a Fsad situation, I'm Cwavin' my heart goodbye
It's Fmovin' down the track and it ain't lookin' back and I'm feelin' like I could Cdie
A Gtrain is made to roam like a heart without a home and I'm Fthinkin' maybe so was CI
[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
I Fwonder will tomorrow come to hide the sorrow, will the sun forsake the Csky?
And FLord, I'd rather not forget what I forgot but I guess I'm gonna have to Ctry
GStandin' in the station, I got no destination, I'm Fwavin' my heart good- Cbye
GStandin' in the station, I'm Fwavin' my heart good- Cbye
