Wanted to find the chords for the song but I couldn't so I reluctantly transcribed it
out. So here it is for everyone else to enjoy.
Intro: C, F x4
C F
There's a train on a track
C F
Painted silver, blue and black
C F
Heading to Massachusetts
C F
And then it's coming back
G
And it's entertaining by New Haven
F C F C F
Once you've had yourself a drink or two, ooh ooh
G
All alone on the Acela
F C F
Tell me baby, where the hell are you?
C F
Ooh ooh

C F
There's a girl on the train
C F
Leaning on a window pane
C F
Reading People Magazine
C F
Just to help turn off her brain
G
And I swear I caught her staring at me
F C F C F
Maybe I've been staring at her too, ooh ooh
G
Shot to hell on the Acela
F
Just as well, there's nothing else to do
C F
Ooh ooh
C F
Am F
When they called "All aboard"
C G
You were nowhere to be found
Am F
Though you swore you were sure
C G
You'd come with me out of town
Am
And I looked in all the stars
I looked in Hudson News
Searched for any sign of you
But you had not left any clues
C F C F
I was so confused
C F
What was I supposed to do?
C F
Now the world is a blur
C F
And the engine starts to purr
C F
And we're flying through Rhode Island
C F
The conductor calls me "Sir,
G F C F C F
for your information it's a station at about 11:22", ooh ooh

Got to get the next Acela
F C F
Got to make my way back home too
G
Got to get the next Acela
F C F
Got to get myself back home to you
