_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ [C#] _ [D] Outside the rain [G] is falling, _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [Bm] though it's all [D] I feel.
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ With all of this life, [G] _
just moves [D] so _ slow, _
[Em] _ _ _ leaving [D] only [G] space to fill.
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ Oh, the rain is [G] making patterns [D] now, _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ on my _ [D] windowsill.
_ _ [A] Of _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ those who never [G] _ asked [D] to die, _ [Em] _ _ _ [D] _ too _ [A] afraid to _ kill. _ _ _
_ [D] _ Tonight, _ _ _ I [B] ride the _ [G] train, _ to [D] get up, _ _ take me down [G] the line. _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ So much I [G] can _ never _ _ say, of the _ [D] ways _ of [A] death can hide. _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ My pockets [G] are empty, _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ there's so much more [D] than _ mine.
[A] _ _
_ _ [D] _ Tonight, _ _ _ I ride [G] the train, _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ [A] _ to get up, take me [D] down the _ line. _

_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
[G] Pamela was anxious, _ [D] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ I kept [D] her waiting long.
_ _ [G] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [A] She asked me [G] for a symphony, [D] _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ [D] I only gave [A] her _ songs. _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ But I'm weary [G] of these paining [D] _
words.
_ [G] _ _ _ I long for perfect [D] sin, _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ when gravity [G] was my lover,
_ [D] _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ [D] _ silence was [A] my _ friend. _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ Tonight, _ [G] I ride the train, _ _ _ to [D] get up, _ _ [F#m] _
take [D] me [G] down the line. _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ So much I [G] can _ never _ say, of the _ [D] _ _ ways of death can hide.
_ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [F#m] If I [Bm] could, I would explain it all to [D]
you, _ [G] _ _ _ _ there's so much [D] more than mine.
[A] _ _
_ [D] _ _ Tonight, I _ ride _ _ [G] the train, _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [A] to get up, take me down [D] the line. _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] The line that has [G] not kept [D] the _ chains, [G] _ _ _ for hurting when [D] they're stoned. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] Her [D] hungry _ thighs [G] still [D] sing for me, _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [D] her mouth moves [A] like a poem. _ _
[D] Our _ _ _ _ _ love in [G] green, _ desires [D] of life, _ [G] _ _ _ _ so careful [D] not to _ _ [A] bruise. _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [A] All the secrets [G] we so _ [D] finely spun, _ [Em] _ _ _ [D] no one even _ [A] likes to _ _ lose. _
[D] All time _ we ride on the _ [G] train, _ _ [D] to get up, _ _ _ take me [G] down the line. _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ So much I can [G] _ _ never say, [Em] of the _ _ [D] _ ways of [A] death can hide.
_ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ My pockets [G] they are empty, _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ so much on [D] my _ _ [A] mind.
_ _ _ [D] _
Tonight, [F#m] _ I [G] ride the train, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] to get up, take me [D] down the line.

_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ So gather all [G] your shattered [D] _ fears, [G] _ _ _ _
_ I'll take them [D] willingly. _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ _ To [A] the pennies [D] and [G] the _ auction [D] _ _ [Em] men, _ _ [D] we'll trade them [A] all for three. _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ There's nothing [G] left but nursing out, [D] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ for you the one [D] I'll keep.
_ [G] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ The poet [G] upon the face of [D] history, _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [D] _ dreamt a [A] song to be, _ _ a _ [D] sickly. _ _ _
Run like [G] a fish, ready _ to watch [D] me go, _ _ take me down [G] the _ line. _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ So much I [Bm] can _ [G] never _ say, of the ways [D] _ _ _ of [A] death can hide.
[G] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [C#] If I could [D] I would [Bm]
explain [G] it all to [D] you, _ [G] _
_ you got too much on your [D]
mind.
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ I run like [G] a fish _ _ ready _ _ [A] to _ take me down [D] the line, _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ down [D] the line.
_ _ _ _ [Bm] Oh, _ [G]
down, down, down [D] the line. _
