Chords for Gabriel Kahane - Model Trains (Official Video)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ A man who played with model trains
_ [A] _ _ [D] In the [Em] furnished basement painted [G] black
_ _ _ _ [C#] How it pleased [F#m] him every day
[D] The pattern of [G] the rail, the pattern of the [Em] tiny track
_ One night he slips and hits his head
_ [A] _ _ [D] As he [E] reaches for [D] a sleeper [G] car _ _ _ _
[C#] And the lights kept blinking red
[D] Now level [G] with his eye, his miniature [D] plastic arm _ _ _
[Em] Kids, something wasn't right
[D] In the morning when he kissed [A] them all
[G] He didn't [E] say a word
And the [Bm] model trains [Gm] keep [E] going round
_ _ [D] _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [G] Showered shabed but [Bm] sullied still
_ [A] _ _
With a fist of pink [D] and blue and [G] red _ _
_ [C#] He will swallow [F#m] every pill
[D] To help him with his fear of getting from [Em] the bath _
[E] And the model trains [Gm] keep going [Em] round
[D] _
_ [A] Eyes _ [F#] cased [D#] in rhyme
_ A face that's [D] chapped with [G] tiger's tears
How [C#] his wife will [Bm] mark the time
By learning [G] how to love
He's been like this for [D] seven years _
_ And now [A] _ [Em] as a last [B] resort
She [C#m] drives him to [D] the [Am] ward
In a [F#m] red ink, [G] thirty miles [E] away
And [C] through, _ through the [B] spattered glass
The head straps and [D] the gas
She [Em] watches [D] as they put [E] him under
[G#m] And the model trains keep [B] going round _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
She drives him home in the family car _ _
[D] _ _ [A] Stealing glances at [D] this body [G] strange
_ _ _ _ [C#] The vacant smile, the [Bm] clean white scar
[D] And the man who [G] disappeared
The man who [B] played with model [Em] trains
_ [D] The man [G] who made her laugh
The man [A] who played with [D] model trains _ _ _
