Capo 1 [If you want to play without a capo, transpose these chords one half step up] Intro: C#5 E5 C#5 E5 C#5 E5 C#5 E5 I was dreaming I was tied to a train track twisting in the sun C#5 E5 A5 E5 Burning up hoping the trains hadn't quit rolling I was ready for it to be done A5 E5 E5 But when you need a train it never comes I woke up to you wearing your winter coat You're leaving everything here but your phone And I leaned out the window but the tracks below Were quiet, calm , and cold When you need a train it never comes When you need a train it never comes F#5 F#5 E5 E5 The union pacific is due for a visit B5 B5 F#5 F#5 And believe me I got a plan B5 A5 E5 But the plan's no good without the train B5 A5 E5 And when you need a train it never comes B5 A5 E5 E5 When you need a train it never comes Standing in the kitchen with all the dirty dishes You left a lot of things here undone The washer's leaking and the porch light's broken Things you said you'd get around to I could use a distraction and the noise of the engine Its rumblin' would at least be a break From these thoughts screaming and your voice haunting The only thing louder is trains The only thing louder is trains The union pacific is due for a visit And believe me I got a plan But the plan's no good without the train And when you need a train it never comes When you need a train it never comes Crying in the sweater you gave me in this weather- What am I supposed to do? You can't leave me with your things as some sort of trade Cuz you're wanting something new It's mean and it's cruel. The union pacific is due for a visit And believe me I got a plan But the plan's no good without the train And when you need a train it never comes When you need a train it never comes
