Intro:
  E/A  Dmaj7/  F#    E/A  Dmaj7/  F#(repeat)
   E/A  Dmaj7/F#  
 Don't say one thing one day,
   E/A  Dmaj7/F#  
then something else the next day.
   E/A  Dmaj7/F#  
I'm trying to keep up with you
   E/A  Dmaj7/                  F#  G2  
it's hard enough when you speak clearly,
                 Em2(no5)
but when you're confused,
   E/A  Dmaj7/                                F#     E/A  Dmaj7/F#  
it's like a goods train running through these rooms.
   E/A  Dmaj7/                     F#     E/A  Dmaj7/        F#  
And I'm reading more into your words than you have put into them,
   E/A  Dmaj7/                     F#     E/A  Dmaj7/F#  
and that's my problem, but you tied these knots, now you undo them.
               G6Em2(no5)
You undo them.
                E/A  Dmaj7/              F#           E/A  Dmaj7/F#  
Oh and think before you speak my darling.
                    Fmaj7Em2(no5)
Cause with your troubled mind,
                    E/A  Dmaj7/           F#               E/A  Dmaj7/             F#  
you're like a goods train running through my life.
Verse 2:
We all walk through this world alone,
we keep ourselves untouched, unknown.
You look up to the sky above you,
read this there - I love you.
Oh it's written there,
you know I love you, love you, love you.
                  Fmaj7Em2(no5)  
But with your troubled mind,
                     E/A  Dmaj7/            F#         E/A  Dmaj7/    F#  
you're like a goods train running through my life.
Bridge:
And when you're Adown,
you bring me down Emtoo,
and babe that's Gsomething I would not Ddo.
I know it's Ahard, yeah I know Emit's hard,
and baby that's Gsomething I don't Ddisregard.
       E/A  Dmaj7/       F#         E/A  Dmaj7/        F#         E/A  Dmaj7/ F#  
I don't disregard - - - 
                           G2Em2(no5)
But with your troubled mind,
                     E/A  Dmaj7/             F#         E/A  Dmaj7/  F#  
you're like a goods train running through my life.
