A
If I had a dime for every question
        G            D/F#             A
I could buy myself a bank to keep the answers in
         A
When the house you rent was getting painted
  G                     D/F#              A
I thought this out and wrote it down and mailed it


[Instrumental]
A       G   D/F#      A
A       G   D/F#

[Verse 2]
         A
When I think of it, it makes me crazy
         G
And if I hear from you
     D/F#        A
You know it will amaze me
           A
I'm gonna take a train across the river
            G                       D/F#          A
And when I see your face I've got a message to deliver


[Chorus]
Bm         D                A     Asus4 A
Without a thought you carry on
Bm               D                  A                  Asus4 A
And I'll be the last thing on your mind before too long
Bm                     D            A
You said you'd always love me as a friend
                 D         Bm
But you left the water on instead
              D            A
You left it running in my head


[Instrumental]
A       G   D/F#      A
A       G   D/F#


[Verse 3]
A
I've been taking this from you for much too long
        G                 D/F#              A
When my train gets in I'll call you on the telephone
A
But before I go can you just tell me
         G        D/F#                  A 
Did the coffee tea and paperbacks mean anything?


[Chorus]
Bm         D                A     Asus4 A
Without a thought you carry on
Bm               D                  A                  Asus4 A
And I'll be the last thing on your mind before too long
Bm                     D            A
You said you'd always love me as a friend
                 D         Bm
But you left the water on instead
              D            A
You left it running in my head


[Pedal Steel Solo]
A       G   D/F#      A  (x4)


[Outro]
A
I went to the train to get my ticket
      G              D/F#              A
And I laid myself out on the tracks derailed it
