D                                    Bm
I cant keep these notebooks straight since we parted ways.
       G                              A7
Lord I write somethin' new every day.
D                                  Bm
Nights, they ain't so hard for me. I just drink myself to sleep
          G                                      A7
with some foolish girl who likes the way I sing.
D                                     Bm
Call me what you will for loving you,

and lying with somebody new...
        G                                      A7
Lord it ain't like your waitin' around for me.

[Chorus]
          G                           D
I just say there's a train that leaves at a quarter past three
               G                         A7
that I've got a one way ticket to be on.
G                            D
I can come and stay with you, if you want me to,
               G            A7                   D
but when you wake up in the morning I'll be gone.

[Verse 2]
D
I'm on the road these days in a rental car
       Bm
passing semi's and city fearing stars,
      G                                      A7
hoping in my heart I'm headed the right way.
         D
I met an English girl at an Irish bar,
             Bm
said she was learning how to play guitar,
         G                                    A7
wondered if I'd come and listen at her place.

[Chorus]
                 G                D
I said there's a train that leaves at a quarter past three
                G                         A7
that I've got a one way ticket to be on.
G                            D
I can come and stay with you, if you want me to,
              G             A7                   D
but when you wake up in the morning I'll be gone.

[Bridge]
Bm                                  A7
I called you this morning at about a quarter till three.
Bm                               A7
You didn't answer so I left this message on your machine.

[Chorus]
G                          D
There's a train that leaves at a quarter past three
                  G                      A7
that I've got a one way ticket to be on.
G                               D
Don't you go wait up for me, no, get yourself some sleep,
               G            A7                    D
but when you wake up in the morning I'll be home.
G                          D
There's a train that leaves at 3:15
                  G                      A7
that I've got a one way ticket to be on.
         G                    D
That train it's takin' me to a woman fast asleep
           G             A7                     D
that I should have been sleepin' with all along.
