 F#m                                A
Train leaves the station, there's blood on the tracks
  Bm               D          F#m
I threw my record player, and you ain't coming back
     F#m                             A
And I saw you on the stage, singing songs we used to play
      Bm            D                F#m
He'd grown all his hair out, but he still don't look like me
       Bm                               E
And I know you were listening 'cause I heard it in a song
                A               F#m            D     C#m
Said "I may be moving babe, but I ain't moving on"
      Bm                         E
I can sing you a lullaby that I made up in the dark
                     A             F#m         D      C#m
But you know that I think I would rather sing yours
     Bm                                     E                       A
It's funny they don't make 'em with their voices still shaking anymore

    F#m                              A
The whistling of the boxcar threw me out into the wind
     Bm                D             F#m
It's cold in San Francisco and I'm thinking back to when
     F#m                                   A
You dropped me down by the water and you danced on up Golden Gate
        Bm                D                   F#m
I was thinking about the love we had and the love we used to make
   Bm                                 E
I saw you up in Washington with your new boy at the gig
                 A               F#m           D    C#m
Said "I may be settling baby but I'm settling big"
 Bm                               E
Said you couldn't wait on me any longer to decide
             A                 F#m                  D     C#m
That may be true but it ain't no excuse for you to hide
    Bm                                     E
Cause your new room with a view is just a fancy place for you to run and hide

And the last clock on the wall is starting to fall
    D               E        A
And no one seems to mind at all

       F#m                                              A
Oh and I threw my glass down on Main Street, started a fire in the park
         Bm           D                    F#m
But the crowd I was hoping for, they just vanished in the dark
     F#m                                      A
So I walked around the corner, yeah with the crazies on the street
      Bm                      D                        F#m
And I saw a girl that looked just like you, she had no shoes upon her feet
            Bm                                       E
Oh and she said that she heard from angels and they told her what to do
                      A                    F#m              D     C#m
I said "They may be talking babe, but they ain't talking to you"
             Bm                                          E
Yes and they told her she could fly if she jumped off a building that was high
                     A        F#m                 D    C#m
And you know that may be the last thing that she said
          Bm                                       E
Yeah but I wish that you wouldn't listen to every voice that comes and creeps inside your head
