Tom: D
D Bm
I cant keep these notebooks straight since we parted ways.
G A7
Lord I write somethin' new every day.
D Bm
Nights, they ain't so hard for me. I just drink myself to sleep
G A7
with some foolish girl who likes the way I sing.
D Bm
Call me what you will for loving you,
and lying with somebody new...
G A7
Lord it ain't like your waitin' around for me.
[Chorus]
G D
I just say there's a train that leaves at a quarter past three
G A7
that I've got a one way ticket to be on.
G D
I can come and stay with you, if you want me to,
G A7 D
but when you wake up in the morning I'll be gone.
[Verse 2]
D
I'm on the road these days in a rental car
Bm
passing semi's and city fearing stars,
G A7
hoping in my heart I'm headed the right way.
D
I met an English girl at an Irish bar,
Bm
said she was learning how to play guitar,
G A7
wondered if I'd come and listen at her place.
[Chorus]
G D
I said there's a train that leaves at a quarter past three
G A7
that I've got a one way ticket to be on.
G D
I can come and stay with you, if you want me to,
G A7 D
but when you wake up in the morning I'll be gone.
[Bridge]
Bm A7
I called you this morning at about a quarter till three.
Bm A7
You didn't answer so I left this message on your machine.
[Chorus]
G D
There's a train that leaves at a quarter past three
G A7
that I've got a one way ticket to be on.
G D
Don't you go wait up for me, no, get yourself some sleep,
G A7 D
but when you wake up in the morning I'll be home.
G D
There's a train that leaves at 3:15
G A7
that I've got a one way ticket to be on.
G D
That train it's takin' me to a woman fast asleep
G A7 D
that I should have been sleepin' with all along.
