(intro)  ( A Bb B C C# D C A Bb B C )

    C                                D/C
I?m al-ways running behind the time
              G74       C
Just like this      train
F7
   Shaking into town
Am                         C       G
   With the brakes com-plai-ning

D/C                                      C
    I used to count lovers like railroad  cars
I counted them on my side
F7                       Am7
Late-ly I don?t count on noth-ing
                 C
I just let things slide

            G                       F/G
The station mas-ter?s shuffling cards
             G
Box cars are bang-ing in the yards

Jealous lovin?ll make you crazy
If you can?t find your goodness
F7                        D9   Gm9   C
  ?Cause you lost your heart

( A Bb B C C# D C A Bb B C )

       C
I went look-ing for a cause
Or a strong cat without claws
  D/C                G74
Or   any reason to re-    -sume
    C F7
And I   found this empty seat
Am                       C
  In this crowded waiting room
G
Ev-erybody waiting

D/C                         C
    Old man sleeping on his  bags
Women with that teased-up kind of hair
F7                       Am
Kids with the jitters in their legs
               C
And those wide, wide open stares
                 G                      F/G
And the kids got Cokes and chocolate bars
                   G
There?s a thin man smo-king a fat cigar

Jealous lovin?ll make you crazy
If you can?t find your goodness
F7                        D9
  ?Cause you lost your heart

Gm7
    What are you gonna do now?
                                      C
You?ve got no one to give your love to

( A Bb B C C# D C A Bb B C )
      C
Well, I?ve got this berth
And this roll-down blind
D/C                      G74
   I?ve got this fold-up sink
    C     F7                    Am
And these rocks and cactuses go-ing by
      C                               G
And a bottle of German wine to drink

D/C                               C
    Settle down into the clickety-clack
With the clouds and the stars to read
F7                            Am
Dream-ing of the pleasure I?m gon-na have
              C
Watching your hair-line recede
My vain darling

              G                       G13
Watching your hair and clouds and stars
                G                G13
I?m rocking away in a sleeping car
                G                           G13
This jealous lov-ing?s bound to make me cra-zy
                F7                      D9
I can?t find my good-ness, I lost my heart
             Gm7                      C
Oh, sour grapes, because I lost my heart
