Tom: G
C G D C
I'm on the worlds last steam train lookin out the window, watch another life go by
C G D Em
Got tongue tied, gun shy, standing in your doorway, trying not to say goodbye
Am C D
To the secrets in your bedroom that you told
Em C G
I want to press my silver cross against your gold
Passing through a ghost town lookin at the sun down, talking to the engineer
I want to back track time till the whistle stops blowing and the snow caps disappear
Cause baby all these empty box cars look the same to me
I want to get off of this god forsaken train
Chorus:
D
Well I'm thinking about you all the way from Brownsville to Laredo
C G
Bought a round trip ticket from Denver to Durango
Bm C G
Countin all the tracks till I get off the train
D
Somewhere the ghost of your warm love lies
C G
Between your long black hair and you pretty dark eyes
Bm C D
I hope it doesn't fade away like the frost on your window pane
Em C G
I want to come back to the roses in your name
Got me feelin kinda lovesick, lookin like a train wreck, listening to the engine moan
I'm lookin for a rainbow, waitin at the depot, standing by the telephone
I had my arms wrapped around almost all night long
I'd give a thousand hail marries to know what went wrong
Chorus:
D
Well I'm thinking about you all the way from Brownsville to Laredo
C G
Bought a round trip ticket from Denver to Durango
Bm C G
Countin all the tracks till I get off the train
D
Somewhere the ghost of your warm love lies
C G
Between your long black hair and you pretty dark eyes
Bm C D
I hope it doesn't fade away like the frost on your window pane
Em C G
I want to come back to the roses in your name
