Capo 2 

C5
I hear the train all night
G5                          A5    G5                C5
sound of its wind blowing through our subtle lives
                       G5
and i have a job to do walking these cars
        A5         G5            C5
walking all asleep to get to you
               
            A5             C5
but I don't feel your stir beside me
            A5             G5
and your not in my morning hour

C5
some ties are made to break
G5                                  A5      G5
some stalks grow high and green to rot away
               C5
and feel the wake


C5
and these lines tell the truth
G5                        A5       G5 C5
these city veins answer all you do
               A5              C5
so could you keep me in the pulses
            A5               G5
could you keep me in the sound

C5                       G5
i got wise and I got old
                           A5   G5
not once, not once did I fall
             C5
so don't you know

C5
maybe you bet on me
G5                            A5         G5
while we were still young enough to know
C5
or to believe

C5
for every year you took
G5                         A5         G5
for every soft breathe or loving look
C5
believe me

         A5               C5
and dont keep me like you have me
         A5                G5
and dont kiss me like you don't

C5                      G5
I got wise and I got old
                          A5  G5
not once, not once did I fall
             C5
so dont you now

C5
some land holds a home
G5                       A5 G5                 
some of my years only hold 
C5
me to Rome

C5
but I tell myself its true
G5                        A5  G5
you see a home you see a man
C5
you see it too

          A5                   C5
and I say don't you know you have her
       A5               G5
go on kiss her now you boy

C5                       G5
i got wise and I got old
                           A5 G5
not once, not once did I fall
             C5
so don't you know

C5                       G5
i got wise and I got old
                            A5 G5
not once, not once did I fall
             C5
so don't you know
