[Intro]
CC/BEmAmF
x3
[Verse 1]
Am C G Am F
One last thing I beg you please, just before you go
Am C G Am F
I've watched you fly on paper wings half way around the world until they
Am C G Am F
burned up in the atmosphere and sent you spiraling down
Am C G F
Landing somewhere far from here with no one else around
G
To catch you falling down
F
And I'm looking at you now
[Chorus]
C C/B Em
And I can't tell if you're laughing
Am F
Between each smile there's a tear in your eye
C C/B Em
There's a train leaving town in an hour
Am F
It's not waiting for you and neither am I
[Verse 2]
Am C G Am F
Swing for the fences son, he must have told you once
Am C G Am F
That was a conversation you took nothing from so raise your
Am C G Am F
glass now and celebrate exactly what you've done
Am C G F
Just put off another day of knowing where you're from
G
You can catch up with yourself
F
if you run
[Chorus]
C C/B Em
And I can't tell if you're laughing
Am F
Between each smile there's a tear in your eye
C C/B Em
There's a train leaving town in an hour
Am F
It's not waiting for you and neither am I
[Solo]
CGFG
x2
[Verse 3]
C
Is this the life that you lead?
C/B Em
Or the life thats led for you
Am
Will you take the road
F
Thats been laid out before you?
C C/B Em Am
Will we cross paths somewhere else tonight
F
(Somewhere else tonight)
[Chorus]
C C/B Em
And I can't tell if you're laughing
Am F
Between each smile there's a tear in your eye
C C/B Em
There's a train leaving town in an hour
Am F
It's not waiting for you and neither am I
C C/B Em
And I can't tell if you're laughing
Am F
Between each smile there's a tear in your eye
C C/B Em
There's a train leaving town in an hour
Am F C
It's not waiting for you and neither am I
