Train leaves the station, there's blood on the tracks
  B5               D5          F#5
I threw my record player, and you ain't coming back
     F#5                             A5
And I saw you on the stage, singing songs we used to play
      B5            D5                F#5
He'd grown all his hair out, but he still don't look like me
       B5                               E5
And I know you were listening 'cause I heard it in a song
                A5               F#5            D5     C#5
Said "I may be moving babe, but I ain't moving on"
      B5                         E5
I can sing you a lullaby that I made up in the dark
                     A5             F#5         D5      C#5
But you know that I think I would rather sing yours
     B5                                     E5                       A5
It's funny they don't make 'em with their voices still shaking anymore

    F#5                              A5
The whistling of the boxcar threw me out into the wind
     B5                D5             F#5
It's cold in San Francisco and I'm thinking back to when
     F#5                                   A5
You dropped me down by the water and you danced on up Golden Gate
        B5                D5                   F#5
I was thinking about the love we had and the love we used to make
   B5                                 E5
I saw you up in Washington with your new boy at the gig
                 A5               F#5           D5    C#5
Said "I may be settling baby but I'm settling big"
 B5                               E5
Said you couldn't wait on me any longer to decide
             A5                 F#5                  D5     C#5
That may be true but it ain't no excuse for you to hide
    B5                                     E5
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
    D5               E5        A5
And no one seems to mind at all
         D5                 E5       D5          E5
And the last clock on the wall is starting to fall

       F#5                                              A5
Oh and I threw my glass down on Main Street, started a fire in the park
         B5           D5                    F#5
But the crowd I was hoping for, they just vanished in the dark
     F#5                                      A5
So I walked around the corner, yeah with the crazies on the street
      B5                      D5                        F#5
And I saw a girl that looked just like you, she had no shoes upon her feet
            B5                                       E5
Oh and she said that she heard from angels and they told her what to do
                      A5                    F#5              D5     C#5
I said "They may be talking babe, but they ain't talking to you"
             B5                                          E5
Yes and they told her she could fly if she jumped off a building that was high
                     A5        F#5                 D5    C#5
And you know that may be the last thing that she said
          B5                                       E5
Yeah but I wish that you wouldn't listen to every voice that comes and creeps inside your head
