Chords with lyrics

[Intro]
A minorAm Am A minorAm E7E7 A minorAm Am A minorAm E7E7 E7 A minorAm E7E7 A minorAm

[Verse 1]
C/GC/G
Take a look inside,
G+G
I’ve got nothing left to hide,
DmDm                 A minorAm
Take me as I am not what I want to be.
C/GC/G
The why we’ll never know,
G+G
We passed that long ago,
DmDm                 A minorAm
Is and was is all we’re ever gonna be.

[Bridge]
A minorAm Am A minorAm E7E7 A minorAm Am A minorAm E7E7 E7 A minorAm C/GC/G E7E7 A minorAm

[Chorus]
A minorAm
He's almost shade, down by the river,
A minorAm
Feels a breath that makes him shiver,
A minorAm                E7E7
Takes a breath and makes a dive alone.
A minorAm
But the dead don’t get no vacation,
A minorAm
Down in that subway station,
A minorAm                 E7E7
The only break they take is to the bone.
E7E7                     A minorAm
And they’re waiting on a train to take them home.
E7E7                   A minorAm
They’re waiting on a train to take them home.

[Verse 2]
C/GC/G
I don’t think I see,
G+G
Much of anything for me,
DmDm              A minorAm
In visions of the past or the everafter.
C/GC/G
Now is what can be,
G+G
All the rest is wait and see,
DmDm                  A minorAm
Those prophets never hear that cosmic laughter.

[Chorus]
A minorAm
And gypsies in their wagons rolling,
A minorAm
Never hear those death bells tolling,
A minorAm             E7E7
Never take no notice of the tone.
A minorAm
But I do, and my pulse beats quicker,
A minorAm
Scornful laughs and knowing snickers,
A minorAm                E7E7
Stop my heart and sink it like a stone.
E7E7                  A7A7
Now I’m waiting on a train to take me home.
E7E7                 A7A7
Just waiting on a train to take me home.

[Solo]
C/GC/G G+G DmDm A minorAm C/GC/G E MajorE A minorAm (2x)
A minorAm Am A minorAm E7E7 A minorAm Am A minorAm E7E7 E7 A minorAm C/GC/G E7E7 A minorAm

[Verse 3]
C/GC/G
This ain’t what it seems,
G+G
And it’s not the stuff of dreams,
DmDm             A minorAm
Nothing is as clear as this confusion.
C/GC/G
The somewhat welcome news,
G+G
Is there is no way to lose,
DmDm                 A minorAm
Because what isn’t real is genuine illusion.

[Chorus]
A minorAm
And it’s all about that graveyard dancing,
A minorAm
Some sit still and some still prancing,
A7A7                  E7E7
And some get caught between them in a zone.
A minorAm
Well there’s nothing left to give them cover,
A minorAm
They can’t even see each other,
A minorAm                 E7E7
They just step and stumble on their own.
E7E7                   A7A7
They’re waiting on a train to take them home.

[Outro]
C/GC/G
They’re waiting on a train,
E7E7
I’m waiting on a train,
E7E7        E7E7            A7A7
