Verse 1:

AbAb    GbGb        DbDb
I almost saw a train wreck


AbAb      GbGb    DbmDbm
Then I had to look away


AbAb     GbGb       DbDb
Never had I wondered before


AbAb         GbGb         DbDb
What happened when metal bent and tore

AbAb      GbGb      DbDb
I ran across manhole covers


AbAb     GbGb        DbmDbm
Toward the center of my Earth


AbAb     GbGb .      DbDb
Valleys and other landmarks


A augmentedA     GbGb           DbDb
Visions of big machines transformed


BbmBbm AbAb GbGb DbDb

Verse 2:

AbAb       GbGb       DbDb
Walking around in St. Matthews


AbAb              GbGb      BbmBbm
The winds were light and the roads were wet


AbAb         GbGb      DbDb
Those green sloping mountains over


AbAb      GbGb     DbDb
Leading up to gravel beds

  AbAb        GbGb       DbDb
My brother Paul was walking aimless


  AbAb       GbGb     BbmBbm
My father Pete had turned away


   AbAb        GbGb         DbDb
Paul stumbled toward a roaring train track


AbAb           GbGb     DbDb
He was only four years old that day

Bridge:

AbAb    GbGb      DbDb
I barely saw it happen


  AbAb     EbmEbm     Bb majorBb
The ground??s monumental shake


   AbAb         GbGb        DbDb
There must have been two feet between them


 AbAb          GbGb        DbDb
Before those two hands snatched him safe


   AbAb       GbGb       DbDb
As we headed home to beat the sunset


 AbAb        GbGb   BbmBbm
I heard him crying overhead


   AbAb        GbGb          DbDb
That night I dreamt we turned the lights out


  AbAb      GbGb      DbDb
And wandered far away from this

Now I'm sitting on a bridge


AbAb   GbGb       BbmBbm
Out in Portland, Oregon


AbAb     GbGb        DbDb
The old day begins to shudder


AbAb       GbGb       DbDb
And rolling on, becomes another


GbGb DbDb
