[E] [Am]
[C] You take a look [G] inside, [Dm] I got nothing [Am] left to hide
[C] Take me [E] as I am, not what [Am] I wanna be
The [C] why we'll [G] never know, [A] we passed that [Am] long ago
[C] Is and was [E] is all we're ever gonna [Am] be
He's almost shade down by the river, feels the breath
It makes him shiver, takes a breath, makes you [E] dive along
[Am] But the dead don't get no vacation, down in that subway station
The only break they take is [E] to the barn
And they're waiting on a train to [Am] take them home
[C] They're waiting on a [E] train to take them [Am] home
[C] I don't [G] think I see much of [Am] anything for me
[C] In visions of the [E] past or the ever [Am] after
Now [C] is what [G] can be, all [D] the rest is wait and see
[C] Those prophets [E] never hear that cosmic [Am] laughter
And gypsies in their wagons rolling never hear
Those death bells toll and never take no notice [E] of the toll
[Am] But I do, and my pulse gets quicker, scornful laughs and annoying snickers
Stop my heart and sink it [E] like a stone
Now I'm waiting on a train [Am] to take me home
[C] Just waiting [E] on a train to [Am] take me home

[A] [C]
[Am] This ain't what [G] it seems, [Dm] and it's not the stuff [Am] of dreams
[C] Nothing [E] is clear as [Am] it seems, you know
[C] The somewhat [G] welcome news [Dm] is there is no [C] way to lose
Because what isn't [E] real is genuine [Am] illusion
And it's all about that great old dance
And some sit still, some still prance
And some get caught between them in [E] a zone
[Am] Well there's nothing left to give them cover
They can't even see each other, they just step and stumble [E] on their own
They're waiting on a train to [Am] take them home
[C] They're waiting [E] on a train
I'm waiting on a train
We're all waiting on a train to [Am] take us home

NotesBeta

To start learning Chris Smither - Train Home chords, build your understanding on these basic chords - Am, C, E, Am and E in sequence. I suggest starting at a calm pace of 47 BPM, and as you gain confidence, approach the song's BPM of 96. To match your vocal range and chord inclination, adjust the capo in line with the key: C Major.
