The Metro

[Intro]
B5 E5
I'm alone,

[Verse 1]
E5
  sitting with my empty glass.
My four walls follow me through my past.
I was on a Paris train
I emerged in London rain
And you were waiting there
Swimming through apologies.

[Chorus]
A5           B5                G5
  I remember searching for the perfect words.
D5
A5                B5                       G5
  I was hoping you  might change your mind.
A5             B5               G5
  I remember a soldier sleeping next to me.
D5 A5               B5 G5 A5 B5
   Riding on the me __tro.

[Pre-Verse]
E5               E5
  You wore white.

[Verse 2]
Smiling as you took my hand.
So removed,
we spoke of wintertime in France.
Minutes passed with shallow words.
Years have passed and still the hurt.
I can see you now,
smiling as you pulled away.

[Chorus]
A5               B5              G5
  I remember the letter wrinkled in my hand.
D5
A5                 B5                   G5
  "I'll love you always" filled my eyes.
A5             B5               G5
  I remember a night we walked along the Seine.
D5 A5              B5  G5 A5 B5 E5
   Riding on the metro.
A5             B5             G5
  I remember a feeling coming over me!
D5 A5
     The soldier turned,
B5     G5
  then looked away.
A5           B5             G5
  I remember hating you for loving me!
D5 A5              B5  G5 A5 B5
   Riding on the metro.

[Pre-Verse]
E5
  I'm alone,

[Verse 3]
E5
  sitting with my empty glass.
My four walls follow me through my past.
I was on a Paris train
I emerged in London rain
And you were waiting there
Swimming through apologies.

[Chorus]
A5           B5                G5
  I remember searching for the perfect words.
D5
A5                B5                       G5
  I was hoping you  might change your mind.
A5             B5               G5
  I remember a soldier sleeping next to me.
D5 A5               B5 G5 A5 B5
   Riding on the me __tro.
