[Verse 1]
Cm               Eb             Bb          Eb  Ab
One last thing I beg you please just before you go
     Cm                 Eb          Bb           Cm
I've watched you fly on paper wings halfway round  the
Ab
world
           Cm               Eb         Bb
Until they burned up in the atmosphere and sent you
      Cm  Ab
spiraling down
Cm                Eb                   Bb         Gm Ab
Landing somewhere far from here with no  one else a_round
                     Bb
To catch you falling down
                  Gm   Ab Bb
And I'm looking at  you   now

[Chorus]
    Eb                     Bb/D
And I can't tell if you're laughing
Gm   Cm                        Ab
  Between each smile there's a tear in your eye
          Eb                       Bb/D
There's a train leaving town in an hour
Gm         Cm
  It's not waiting for you,
    Ab
and neither am I

[Verse 2]
Cm               Eb
  "Swing for the fences,
        Bb             Eb  Ab
son" he must have told you once
Cm               Eb           Bb         Cm    Ab
  But that was a conversation you took nothing from
              Cm
So raise your glass now,
     Eb          Bb         Cm     Ab
lets celebrate exactly what you've done
Cm            Eb            Bb            Gm     Ab
Just put off another day of knowing where you're from
                          Bb      Gm  Ab
You can catch up with yourself if you run..
.

[Chorus]
Bb    Eb                     Bb/D
  And I can't tell if you're laughing
Gm   Cm                        Ab
  Between each smile there's a tear in your eye
          Eb                       Bb/D
There's a train leaving town in an hour
Gm         Cm
  It's not waiting for you,
    Ab          Eb
and neither am I

Is this the life that you lead,
       Bb/D             Gm
Or the life that's lead for you?
     Cm                            Ab
Will you take the road that's been laid out before you?
Eb                  Bb/D      Gm           Cm
Will we cross paths somewhere else tonight?

[Chorus]
Ab    Eb                     Bb/D
  And I can't tell if you're laughing
Gm   Cm                        Ab
  Between each smile there's a tear in your eye
          Eb                       Bb/D
There's a train leaving town in an hour
Gm         Cm
  It's not waiting for you,
    Ab
and neither am I

[Outro]
    Eb                     Bb/D
And I can't tell if you're laughing
Gm   Cm                        Ab
  Between each smile there's a tear in your eye
          Eb                       Bb/D
There's a train leaving town in an hour
Gm         Cm
  It's not waiting for you,
    Ab          Eb
and neither am I
