Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) Verse 1: N.C. C Outside of Gare du Nord G Bound for the Pyrenees Bm A voice calling all aboard D Rings in your ear C You draw the curtain back G You place your hat on your knees Bm You empty your pockets D To prove you were here
Chorus: C G It's your trip abroad C G It's the girl you were C Bm It's the face of God D Staring back at you C G It's your father's smile C G You thought you forgot C Bm Em D It is everything that brought you here Verse 2: N.C. C The sign on Gare Saint-Lazare G Pointing to Normandie Bm The girl from the factory D You've known for a week C Holding her hand in yours G Together you count to three Bm And there in the last frame D She kisses your cheek Chorus: C G It's when she says yes C G It's the next ten years C Bm It's the loneliness D When she disappears C G When the booth goes bright C G It's what you can't see C Bm Em D It is everything that brought you here C to me Bridge: G What happens when the booth goes bright? C Where do you go when you're out of view? G What's the use in trying to hide? C Or tearing yourself in two G When you leave yourself behind Em D Every piece becomes another clue Verse 3: C G Pull the curtain tight C G And adjust the seat C Bm Lean into the light D Don't forget to breathe C G When the booth goes bright C G So bright you can't see C D Em D I'll see everything that brought you here C to me
