C                Bm
I'm headed south on a railroad train
F                    C            G
We're pulling out on time and I'm amazed
C      C            Bm
Got my window seat  I got my magazines
F                C               G
Got everything I need except for you
C                Bm
Remember when we took that train out west
F                    C              G
They almost threw us off for acting strange
Am
Made fools  of all the porters
         F                  C
We drank booze out of paper cups
G
You showed me a good time baby
      E7         Am
But I never  got enough
F                         C
You showed me a good time darling
      G         C
But I never got enough
       G
And my heart feels just as  caloused
   C
As some old breakmans hands
G
Been on the job for  years
B7                   Em
He still  don't understand
         F
Why the  towns fade away  like lovers
F
His life has let him dowm
C                               G
You can brake  a train you can break a heart
        Am                       F
But you never learn to like the sound
C                      Bm
I'm sitting all alone  in  a dining car
F                       C             G
I feel like a fool for  ordering this meal
C              Bm
It's no fun without you here
F                   C                    G
I miss your teasing everytime I spill my drink
C
Were pulling in a station
Bm
I wish it was my stop
F                 C                  G
I'll remeber next time to  take the  plane
Am
It just ain't the same without you
        F           C
I was a fool to try now
      G
Now im getting odd looks from a porter
         E                  Am
Like he  never seen a woman cry
       F                        C
Now im getting odd looks from a porter
         G                  C

   C

C                               G
You can brake  a train you can break a heart
        Am                       F      C
But you never learn to like the sound
