Southbound Train

Intro 
C F 


[Verso 1]
 
    C       Bb   F     F 
I'm sitting on a southbound train 
C      Bb       F 
Staring at the sky 
    C       Bb     Am 
I'm thinking of my childhood 
        Bb           Csus C 
And I'm trying not to cry 
        Dm              Am 
While a stranger sleeps against me 
        Dm            Am 
And it feels like I'm his wife 
    C         Bb      F 
The towns and cities flutter past 
         Bb    C     F 
Like the pages of my life 
 


[Verso 2]
 
C       Bb   F     F 
My heart is on the baggage rack 
C      Bb       F 
It's heavy as can be 
   C       Bb       Am 
I wish that I could find someone 
          Bb         Csus C 
Who would carry it for me 
        Dm           Am 
Just to pay it some attention 
        Dm            Am 
And to handle it with care 
    C         Bb      Am 
Because it has been dropped 
        F  Bb     C    F 
And is in need of some repair 


F Gm Am Dm 
 


[Refrão]
 
Dm          Am 
Some things I know 
Dm          Am 
Some things I guess 
Dm            F                 Bb       C 
Some things I wish that I could learn to express 

         Dm         F 
Like the way that I feel 
     Bb           Dm 
As I stare at the sky 
      Bb            F 
And I remember your voice 
        Bb    C  F 
And the sound of goodbye 
 


[Verso 3]
 
C        Bb   F     F 
Or maybe it's the autumn chill 
C      Bb   F     F 
Maybe it's the rain 
C       Bb       Am 
Maybe I should wake the stranger 
     Bb         Csus C 
And ask him his name 
       Dm              Am 
But my eyes they would betray me 
       Dm              Am 
And my words could not defend 
    C      Bb       F 
No, I must learn to wait my turn 
   Bb    C    F 
Before I love again 


F Gm Am Dm 
 


[Refrão]
 
Dm          Am 
Some things I know 
Dm          Am 
Some things I guess 
Dm            F                 Bb       C 
Some things I wish that I could learn to express 
         Dm         F 
Like the way that I feel 
     Bb           Dm 
As I stare at the sky 
      Bb            F 
And I remember your voice 
        Bb    C  F 
And the sound of goodbye
