Model Trains chords by Rye Lachance

Intro:

C G D C G


Verse 1:

C             G              D           C
The bad men always stay and the good ones die
                     G
They crossed their heart
        D              C
I stuck a needle in my eye
            G                  D           C                      G D
If wedding rings were made of plastic the earth would be dead by  now
 C             G                 D
 We can't love no, we don't know how

Chorus:
 C                              D           C
If pushing model trains around tiny plastic table towns
                           Em         D
Didn't make me feel like running back to
                 C
Maine to settle down
                                 C
I'd find a heartbeat in the railroad tracks

But the longer
           D
I control them the faster  I
  C    G       D    C
  Slip through the cracks
         G       D               C          D
Getting trapped just to shatter like glass   Woah

Verse 2:
  C           G                    D
  I   thought I'd see my dad cry for the first time
     C                              G        D                    C
I'd recall But he sat there staring blankly at the marble on the wall
                   D              C
My mother shed two tears and gave one to him and
                  D                 C
I shed many more one for each of my sins

{Chorus}
         C                            D
         Oh if pushing model trains around tiny plastic table
 C                         Em            D
towns didn't make me feel like running back to
           C
Maine to settle down
                D                 C
I'd find a heartbeat in the railroad tracks
         Em
But the longer
   C      D
I control them the faster
C  Em               G         C      Em                 D       C        G   D
I slip through the cracks getting  trapped just to shatter like glass     Oh

    C*             G*           D*       Em*
    I'm up to my knees in the  North  Atlantic
  C*
 But the  East  York  County
 Em*                D*                       C*
Tide has different plans for me today
                     G                D              C
So when I reach the bottom where the land is hiding still
               Em           D           C
I'll send up a postcard signed from me to you
 G     D
Would you read it through  Oh
Em D
   I hope you do
  C           Em
  I ran back home for you
  C                               D            Em      C    C   C          Em
  signed from me to you, would you read it through I hope you do I ran back home for you
