Intro:

E/A  Dmaj7/F#  E/A  Dmaj7/F#  (repeat)

E/A   Dmaj7/F#
 Don't say one thing one day,

E/A   Dmaj7/F#
then something else the next day.

E/A   Dmaj7/F#
I'm trying to keep up with you


E/A   Dmaj7/F#                  G2
it's hard enough when you speak clearly,

                 Em2(no5)
but when you're confused,

E/A   Dmaj7/F#                                E/A   Dmaj7/F#
it's like a goods train running through these rooms.

E/A   Dmaj7/F#                     E/A   Dmaj7/F#        
And I'm reading more into your words than you have put into them,

E/A   Dmaj7/F#                     E/A   Dmaj7/F#
and that's my problem, but you tied these knots, now you undo them.

G6               Em2(no5)
You undo them.

       E/A         Dmaj7/F#              E/A         Dmaj7/F#
Oh and think before you speak my darling.

Fmaj7                    Em2(no5)
Cause with your troubled mind,

E/A                    Dmaj7/F#           E/A             Dmaj7/F#             
you're like a goods train running through my life.


Verse 2:
We all walk through this world alone,
we keep ourselves untouched, unknown.
You look up to the sky above you,
read this there - I love you.
Oh it's written there,
you know I love you, love you, love you.

Fmaj7                  Em2(no5)  
But with your troubled mind,

              E/A       Dmaj7/F#            E/A       Dmaj7/F#    
you're like a goods train running through my life.


Bridge:

                A
And when you're down,

                  Em 
you bring me down too,

                G                     D
and babe that's something I would not do.

            A                Em          
I know it's hard, yeah I know it's hard,

                G                 D
and baby that's something I don't disregard.

I don't disregard - - - 

G2                           Em2(no5)
But with your troubled mind,

              E/A       Dmaj7/F#             E/A       Dmaj7/F#  
you're like a goods train running through my life.

Listen to the recording for Ben's timing on this - and for little variations here and there.

A great tune from EBTG!
