[Gm] [G] [D]
[Dm]
[Gm] Oh, [G] Lord, [Dm]
oh, it's nine o [F]'clock at this old station, [Gm] and my silver [A] lining ride is [D] right on time.
And as I buy myself a one-way [Dm] ticket [Gm] to somewhere [D] else on down [Dm] the line, [A] as I see [A] the lonely
[C] faces [Am] of the people [G] that will [D] never come [Dm] home, and [A] when I stare into the mirror, [Am] I [D] see [G] myself [D] all alone.
Oh, and did you ever stop to wonder by the [F] time that you lay [D] by your side, [G] when you know
that I was right, [C] and you finally realize [Bb] you took a left [C] turn [D] on a red light?
[Bb]
[G] [D] [Am] Oh, [A]
sunshine [Am] down on the desert, [Bb] and the sea [G] will make my [D] life a haze, and I dream of my childhood, sweetheart.
And [Bb] the freedom [G] that I [D] had in those days, when I wake from all the dreaming, [Bb] will this
boxcar [G] always be my [D] little land home again?
Well, I [A] don't know where I am, [Am] and I really don't give a damn.
[Gm] This crazy [G] life of mine will [D] soon be [Dm] gone.
And did you ever stop to wonder by the time that you lay by your side, [G] when you know that
I was right, [C] and you finally realize [Bb] you took a left [C] turn on [D] a red light?
[Dm]
[C] [Bb] [A] Oh, [D]
and did you

[Dm] [Bb]
[Dm] [D] ever stop [C] to [Am] wonder [Bb] by the time [G] [Dm] that you lay by your side, when you know
that I was right,
[D] and you finally realize you took a left [G] [Bb]
[G] [D] turn on a red
[C] [F] light?
[Gm] Well, the ones that [G] I love always [D] keep telling [Am] me, [D]
you spent too long in the mirror, son,
[Gm]
so [A] maybe you're too [D] blind to see.
And now I stop to wonder by the time [Dm] [G]
that you lay [C] by your side, when you know that I
was right, and you finally realize [Bb] you took a left turn [C] on a red light?
