BORN ON A TRAIN TAB (Magnetic Fields Cover)
Not sure about the G on train, but this is pretty correct.
intro D  
Well DI know that Gyou were neveAr young 
And I know you probably won't get old 
But honey nobody's gonna hurt you anymore 
And nobody's going to make you want to die (C)
(C): And GI've been making Apromises I Dknow I'll never kGeep
One of these days I'm gonna leave you in your sleep 
I'll have to go when the whistle blows, the whistle knows my name 
GBaby, I was Aborn on a Gtrain. 
Some roads are only seen at night 
Ghost roads -- nothing but neon signs. 
But some nights the neon gas gets free
and turns into walking dead like me  (C)
I'll go some cold and grey morning,
and you won't remember anything 
Some people don't believe in dying,
but some of us don't believe in life (C)
