Verse 1:
  E MajorE         A/C#A/C#
I know it's time to travel it's
   E MajorE         A/C#A/C#
The thing that takes a life
   E MajorE       A/C#A/C#
I remember knowing who I am
   E MajorE     A/C#A/C#
Maybe it'll be alright
         A augmentedA
But I've got to leave it here
       E MajorE       A/C#A/C# E MajorE A/C#A/C#
I've got to leave you here

  E MajorE      A/C#A/C#
I know I gave no reasons
   E MajorE       A/C#A/C#
And nothing here is clear
   E MajorE       A/C#A/C#
But what it is I'm feeling oh
   E MajorE      A/C#A/C#
It's giving me the fear
       A augmentedA
I've got to head away
       E MajorE    A/C#A/C# E MajorE A/C#A/C#
I've got to get away


Chorus:
   BB
It's time that I was leaving as those
 A augmentedA              E MajorE  A/C#A/C# E MajorE A/C#A/C#
Shadows fall on the midnight train


Verse 2:
  E MajorE        A/C#A/C#
In time you know I'd leave you running
  E MajorE        A/C#A/C#
I just don't fit the world
 E MajorE        A/C#A/C#
This is something that I've tried
 E MajorE       A/C#A/C#
But it just don't work
       A augmentedA
Is there some other way
       E MajorE     A/C#A/C# E MajorE A/C#A/C#
Oh is there another way?

  E MajorE        A/C#A/C#
I can't explain the reason
  E MajorE        A/C#A/C#
I just don't feel alright
  E MajorE        A/C#A/C#
I know I've tried to smile and wave
 E MajorE       A/C#A/C#
But I've got no fight
   A augmentedA
Left in me babe
    E MajorE     A/C#A/C# E MajorE A/C#A/C#
No not in me babe

Chorus:
   BB
It's time that I was leaving as those
 A augmentedA              E MajorE  A/C#A/C# E MajorE A/C#A/C#
Shadows fall on the midnight train
       E MajorE  A/C#A/C# E MajorE A/C#A/C#
The midnight train

Verse 3:
  E MajorE     A/C#A/C#
And even as we roll away
   E MajorE        A/C#A/C#
The weight begins to fall
  E MajorE       A/C#A/C#
I didn't leave in hope for you
    E MajorE        A/C#A/C#
I just hurried down the hall
     A augmentedA
There's no other way
      E MajorE     A/C#A/C# E MajorE A/C#A/C#
There's no other way


Chorus:
   BB
It's time that I was leaving as those
 A augmentedA              E MajorE  A/C#A/C# E MajorE A/C#A/C#
Shadows fall on the midnight train
   BB
It's time that I was leaving as that
 A augmentedA              E MajorE  A/C#A/C# E MajorE A/C#A/C#
Whistle blows for the midnight train
     E MajorE  A/C#A/C# E MajorE A/C#A/C#
Midnight train
       E MajorE  A/C#A/C# E MajorE A/C#A/C#
