Train leaves the station, there's blood on the tracks
Bm D F#m
I threw my record player, and you ain't coming back
F#m A
And I saw you on the stage, singing songs we used to play
Bm D F#m
He'd grown all his hair out, but he still don't look like me
Bm E
And I know you were listening 'cause I heard it in a song
A F#m D C#m
Said "I may be moving babe, but I ain't moving on"
Bm E
I can sing you a lullaby that I made up in the dark
A F#m D C#m
But you know that I think I would rather sing yours
Bm E A
It's funny they don't make 'em with their voices still shaking anymore

F#m A
The whistling of the boxcar threw me out into the wind
Bm D F#m
It's cold in San Francisco and I'm thinking back to when
F#m A
You dropped me down by the water and you danced on up Golden Gate
Bm D F#m
I was thinking about the love we had and the love we used to make
Bm E
I saw you up in Washington with your new boy at the gig
A F#m D C#m
Said "I may be settling baby but I'm settling big"
Bm E
Said you couldn't wait on me any longer to decide
A F#m D C#m
That may be true but it ain't no excuse for you to hide
Bm E
Cause your new room with a view is just a fancy place for you to run and hide

And the last clock on the wall is starting to fall

And no one seems to mind at all

Oh and I threw my glass down on Main Street, started a fire in the park
Bm D F#m
But the crowd I was hoping for, they just vanished in the dark
F#m A
So I walked around the corner, yeah with the crazies on the street
Bm D F#m
And I saw a girl that looked just like you, she had no shoes upon her feet
Bm E
Oh and she said that she heard from angels and they told her what to do
A F#m D C#m
I said "They may be talking babe, but they ain't talking to you"
Bm E
Yes and they told her she could fly if she jumped off a building that was high
A F#m D C#m
And you know that may be the last thing that she said
Bm E
Yeah but I wish that you wouldn't listen to every voice that comes and creeps inside your head
