Train leaves the station, there's blood on the tracks

Bm D F#m

I threw my record player, and you ain't coming back

F#m A

And I saw you on the stage, singing songs we used to play

Bm D F#m

He'd grown all his hair out, but he still don't look like me

Bm E

And I know you were listening 'cause I heard it in a song

A F#m D C#m

Said "I may be moving babe, but I ain't moving on"

Bm E

I can sing you a lullaby that I made up in the dark

A F#m D C#m

But you know that I think I would rather sing yours

Bm E A

It's funny they don't make 'em with their voices still shaking anymore

F#m A

The whistling of the boxcar threw me out into the wind

Bm D F#m

It's cold in San Francisco and I'm thinking back to when

F#m A

You dropped me down by the water and you danced on up Golden Gate

Bm D F#m

I was thinking about the love we had and the love we used to make

Bm E

I saw you up in Washington with your new boy at the gig

A F#m D C#m

Said "I may be settling baby but I'm settling big"

Bm E

Said you couldn't wait on me any longer to decide

A F#m D C#m

That may be true but it ain't no excuse for you to hide

Bm E

Cause your new room with a view is just a fancy place for you to run and hide

Oh and I threw my glass down on Main Street, started a fire in the park

Bm D F#m

But the crowd I was hoping for, they just vanished in the dark

F#m A

So I walked around the corner, yeah with the crazies on the street

Bm D F#m

And I saw a girl that looked just like you, she had no shoes upon her feet

Bm E

Oh and she said that she heard from angels and they told her what to do

A F#m D C#m

I said "They may be talking babe, but they ain't talking to you"

Bm E

Yes and they told her she could fly if she jumped off a building that was high

A F#m D C#m

And you know that may be the last thing that she said

Bm E

Yeah but I wish that you wouldn't listen to every voice that comes and creeps inside your head
