Lyrics
(Bb)I’m (C)sit ting on a south bound train, It’s (C)star ing (Bb)at the (F)sky.
I’m (C)think ing of my child (Dm)the hood, one and I’m (Gm)try ing not to cry.
While a (Dm)stran ger sleeps a gainst me
and it (Dm)feels like I’m his (C)wife,
the towns and (Bb)cit ies flut ter past like the (Gm)pag es (C)of my (F5)life.
(Bb)My (C)heart is on the bag gage rack.
It’s (C)heav y (Bb)as can (F)be.
I (C)wish that I could find (Dm)the some ger
and to (Gm)car ry it for me,
But to (Dm)pay it some at ten tion,
and to (Dm)han dle it with (C)care,
be towns and (Bb)cit ies flut ter past
like the (Gm)pag es (C)of my (F5)life.
(Bb)My cause it has been dropped and is in need of some re (F5)pair.
Some (C)things I (Fmaj7)know.
Some (C)things I (Fmaj7)guess.
Some things I (Am7)wish that I could (Gm7)learn to ex (Csus2)press, (C)like the way
that I (Am)feel
as I (Bb)stare
at the (Dm7)sky
and re (Bb)mem ber your voice
and the sound
of good (F)bye.
(Fmaj7)Ah,
(C)ah,
(Fmaj7)ah,
(C)ah.
of good (F5)bye.
