[F] _ _
[C] and I'm taking [G] this train to the end [Am] of the line,
[F] _ _
[C] missing every [G] mile that friend [C] of mine.
[G] I _
[C] haven't [G] been doing well myself, [Am] a lot of [F] time on the shelf,
[C] saying [G] that I don't need help when [Am] I do. _ _ _
[C] But I'm [G] gonna be just fine, [Am] a lot of [F] friends a little while,
[C] still I [G] wish I could see you [Am] again sometime.
