[Intro]
C G Am F x3
[Verse 1]
Am C G F
One last thing I beg you please, just before you go
Am C G F
I've watched you fly on paper wings half way round the world until they
Am C G F
burned up in the atmosphere and sent you spiraling down
Am C G F
Landing somewhere far from here with no one else around
G
To catch you falling down
F
And I'm looking at you now
[Chorus]
C Am F
And I can't tell if you're laughing
C Am F
Between each smile there's a tear in your eye
C Am F
There's a train leaving town in an hour
C Am F
It's not waiting for you and neither am I
[Verse 2]
Am C G F
Swing for the fences son, he must have told you once
Am C G F
That was a conversation you took nothing from so raise your
Am C G F
glass now and celebrate exactly what you've done
Am C G F
Just put off another day of knowing where you're from
G
You can catch up with yourself
F
if you run
C Am F
And I can't tell if you're laughing
C Am F
Between each smile there's a tear in your eye
C Am F
There's a train leaving town in an hour
C Am F
It's not waiting for you and neither am I
[Break]
simply strum C for a few measures, if you want to include it, or just go on
[Solo]
C G Am F x2
C G C Am F F G
[Verse 3]
C
Is this the life that you lead?
G
Or the life thats led for you
Am
Will you take the road
F
Thats been laid out before you?
C Am F
Will we cross paths somewhere else tonight
(Somewhere else tonight)
[Chorus] x2
C Am F
And I can't tell if you're laughing
C Am F
Between each smile there's a tear in your eye
C Am F
There's a train leaving town in an hour
C Am F
It's not waiting for you and neither am I
C Am F
And I can't tell if you're laughing
C Am F
Between each smile there's a tear in your eye
C Am F
There's a train leaving town in an hour
C Am F
It's not waiting for you and neither am I
