Lyrics

You (F)may not be lieve it, but I don’t be lieve in mir a (Am)cles (Dm7)an y more.

And (Gm9)when I think a bout it, I (Gm9)don’t be lieve I ev er did for sure.

(F)All the things I’ve said in songs,

all the pur ple (Am)prose you’ve (Dm7)bought from me:

re (Gm9)al i ty’s just black and white, me.

the (Gm9)sen ti men tal things I’d write I (Gm9)nev er meant that much to me.

I (Ab)used to be the main ex press,

all (Fm7)steam and whis tles head ing west,

(Bbm9)pick ing up my pain from (Bbm9)door to door,

(Gb)rid ing on the sto ry line, (Eb)fur nace burn ing o ver time.

But (Db)this train

don’t (Eb)stop,

(Ab)this train

(Cm7)don’t (Fm)stop,

(Bbm7)this train

don’t (Eb11)stop there

an y more.

You (F)don’t need to hear it, but I’m dried be up and sick a (Am)to (Dm7)death of love.

And (Gm9)if you need to know it, I (Gm9)nev er real ly un der stood that stuff.

(F)All the stars and bleed ing hearts,

all the tears that (Am)welled up (Dm7)in my eyes

re (Gm9)nev er meant a thing and to me.

the (Gm9)Read ’em, as they say, and weep!

I (Gm9)nev er felt e nough to cry.

I (Ab)used to be the main ex press,

all (Fm7)steam and whis tles head ing west,

(Bbm9)pick ing up my pain from (Bbm9)door to door,

(Gb)rid ing on the sto ry line, (Eb)fur nace burn ing o ver time.

But (Db)this train

don’t (Eb)stop,

(Ab)this train

(Cm7)don’t (Fm)stop,

(Bbm7)this train

The (Bb9)chis el chips my heart a gain, the (Bb9)gran ite cracks be neath my skin, I (Db)crum ble in to piec es on the ground.

I

But (Db)this train

What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 100 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
