Catch a whole town underneath a sleeping pill
       Cm
It's a quiet little city that grew up together

where everybody's always watching, watching the trains roll by

Little hard to pay the toll, train's in a rush
       Eb                                             Bb
out of town, it's always leaving, waving the girl goodbye, goodbye

          F
Yeah, but every town is small when it comes to you
          Gm
Just like everyone's asleep when it's passing through
    Eb                                    Bb
All night I heard the scream of a million tongues

So wake up, pretty baby, turn the light on
  Gm (held)
tonight there's something different, something gone wrong
           Eb                    Bb
