[Intro]
C F C F C G C
[Verse 1]
CSmoke stacks, signs, departure times
I've got a Emsuitcase full of clothes
I'd best be Fheading on down the railroad line
And it'd be Cbest if you didn't knowG  
CWell I tried to make you love me
Now I'll Emtry to let you go
But when the Ftrain pulls through the station
And that Cwhistle starts to Gblow
[Chorus 1]
Well I Fcan't help but remember
That one Cstory that you told
Bout how you Frearranged the furniture
When you were Cjust a few years Gold
And I Fknow this time there's no good reason
CLeft for me to Amstay
But if these Ctrains are meant for Fleavin'
Why am I Cstanding Gat the Cgate?
F C F C G C
[Verse 2]
CMaybe it's my fault for forgetting
Who I Emwas when I was mine
I've come to Frealize this one thing
You couldn't Cfix what I couldn't Gfind
So when they Cask me where I'm goin'
And I tell Emthem I don't know
By the Ftime that train is slowin down
And the Cwhistle starts to Gblow
[Chorus 2]
Well I Fcan't help but remember
That one Csnowy afternoon
When we were Ftalking 'bout the future
And all the Cthings we were gonna doG  
And I Fknow this time there's no good reason
CLeft for me to stayAm  
But if these Ctrains are second Fchances
Why'd I Cwatch mine Groll awaCy
F C F C G C
[Verse 3]
Well the Csun has come and gone now
That's how it Emgoes, I understand
When I Freach into my pocket
To hold your Cpicture in my Ghand
It's a Cquiet consolation
A Emmistake that I don't mind
Maybe you'll Fmeet me at the station
Or maybe Csomewhere down the Gline
[Chorus 3]
And I Fcan't help but remember
When you Casked me for your song
And I Flaughed but I didn't tell you
That Cthey were all yours all Galong
And I Fknow this time there's no good reason
CLeft for me to Amstay
CBut if these trains are Fstarting over
Why won't minCe just rolGl awCay
Yeah if these Ctrains are Fstarting over
Why won't minCe just roGll awaCy

[Intro]

C F C F C G C

[Verse 1]

Smoke stacks, signs, departure times

I've got a suitcase full of clothes

I'd best be heading on down the railroad line

C G

And it'd be best if you didn't know

Well I tried to make you love me

Now I'll try to let you go

But when the train pulls through the station

C G

And that whistle starts to blow

[Chorus 1]

Well I can't help but remember

That one story that you told

Bout how you rearranged the furniture

C G

When you were just a few years old

And I know this time there's no good reason

C Am

Left for me to stay

C F

But if these trains are meant for leavin'

C G C

Why am I standing at the gate?

F C F C G C

[Verse 2]

Maybe it's my fault for forgetting

Who I was when I was mine

I've come to realize this one thing

C G

You couldn't fix what I couldn't find

So when they ask me where I'm goin'

And I tell them I don't know

By the time that train is slowin down

C G

And the whistle starts to blow

[Chorus 2]

Well I can't help but remember

That one snowy afternoon

When we were talking 'bout the future

C G

And all the things we were gonna do

And I know this time there's no good reason

C Am

Left for me to stay

C F

But if these trains are second chances

C G C

Why'd I watch mine roll away

F C F C G C

[Verse 3]

Well the sun has come and gone now

That's how it goes, I understand

When I reach into my pocket

C G

To hold your picture in my hand

It's a quiet consolation

A mistake that I don't mind

Maybe you'll meet me at the station

C G

Or maybe somewhere down the line

[Chorus 3]

And I can't help but remember

When you asked me for your song

And I laughed but I didn't tell you

C G

That they were all yours all along

And I know this time there's no good reason

C Am

Left for me to stay

C F

But if these trains are starting over

C G C

Why won't mine just roll away

C F

Yeah if these trains are starting over

C G C

Why won't mine just roll away
