[Verse 1]
           E
I'm in the car, I just
 G#m                 B
 needed to clear my head
             E
She's in the house with
      G#m                 B
the baby crying on the bed
               E
She's got this thing where
     G#m                B
 she puts the walls so high
                               F#
It doesn't matter how much you love
                               E
It doesn't matter how hard you try


[Verse 2]
         E            G#m
We got a place with a fence
               B
 and a little grass
           E
I put this film on the windows,
        G#m                B
 and it looks like chapel glass
             E
But when shе turns, it’s like
     G#m                        B
 the shadow of the cross don’t cast
                            F#
No blеssing over our lonely life

It's like waiting for a train
    E
to pass, and I don’t know
 when it'll pass

[Chorus]
        B
But I remember when she used
            F#
 to set the room on fire
         G#m             E
With her eyes, swear to god
            B
It's like a flood of grief
                   F#
and sorrow from a haunted life
         G#m            E
When she cries, like a train,
         B  B
it's a lot

[Verse 3]
            E            G#m
I dropped a line to a flickering
              B
high school flame
            E            G#m
We laughed about all the ways
                    B
that our lives had changed
             E
She’s up the road,
       G#m       B
 about 35 miles north
                       F#
Got two little boys in school
                      E
Just had a real bad divorce
 and in a moment of weakness

[Chorus]
  B
I told her if she ever
          F#
needed a helping hand
        G#m             E
I would lend, swear to god
              B
It's like the part of me that's
                  F#
screaming not to jump gets lost
       G#m           E
In the sound of the train,
         B
it's a lot

[Bridge]
F#sus4  G#m7       E
          Trying hard
B       F#sus4
 Not to care
G#m7         E
   Swear to God

[Outro]
 B    B   F#sus4   F#sus4
