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

I've got to leave you here

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

Shadows fall on the midnight train


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

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


Chorus:
      B
It's time that I was leaving as those

Shadows fall on the midnight train

The midnight train

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


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

On the midnight train
