[Verse 1]

           C 
I'm in the car, I just 
Em                 G
needed to clear my head
             C  
She's in the house with the 
Em                 G
baby crying on the bed
               C 
She's got this thing where 
    Em                G
she puts the walls so high
        
It doesn't matter 
             D
how much you love
          
It doesn't matter 
             C
how hard you try
 
 
[Verse 2]

         C            Em 
We got a place with a fence 
             G
and a little grass
           C  
I put this film on the windows, 
       Em                G
and it looks like chapel glass
             C   
But when shе turns, it’s like the 
Em                        G
Shadow of the cross don’t cast
                            D
No blеssing over our lonely life
          
It's like waiting 
               C
for a train to pass, 

and I don’t know

when it'll pass
 
 
[Chorus]

        G 
But I remember when she used to 
        D
set the room on fire
         Em             C
With her eyes, swear to god
            G  
It's like a flood of grief and 
              D
sorrow from a haunted life
         Em            C 
When she cries, like a train, 
       G  G
it's a lot
 
 
[Verse 3]

            C  
I dropped a line to a 
   Em                  G
flickering high school flame
            C            Em 
We laughed about all the ways that 
             G
our lives had changed
             C 
She’s up the road, 
      Em       G
about 35 miles north
                       D
Got two little boys in school
                      C
Just had a real bad divorce and 

in a moment of weakness
 
 
[Chorus]

  G   
I told her if she ever 
         D
needed a helping hand
        Em             C
I would lend, swear to god
              G   
It's like the part of me that's 
                 D
screaming not to jump gets lost
       Em           C   
In the sound of the train, 
       G
it's a lot
 
 
[Bridge]

Dsus4  Em7       C
          Trying hard
G       Dsus4
 Not to care
Em7         C
   Swear to God
 
 
[Outro]

 G     G     Dsus4    Dsus4    Em7   Em7   C     C 
 G     G     Dsus4    Dsus4    Em7   Em7   C     C [x3]

 G     G     Dsus4    Dsus4    Em7   Em7   C     C
 G     G     Dsus4    Dsus4    Em7   Em7   C     C  G
