[Verse]
G                   C                  
Trying to take that midnight train
D                        G          G/F#
But it's gone and broken down again
Em                    C 
Now I'm stuck on Empty Avenue
D                   G
Trying to get to you

G               C
Talking on the telephone
D                    G        G/F#
Only makes me feel more alone
Em                  C                   
Killing time with a chosen few
D                   G
Trying to get to you

[Bridge]
Bb               F
In this world of constant danger
Bb               C
I still look for kindness in strangers

[Refrain]
    F      Bb      C
And why oh why and why is not enough
       F      Bb      C
And we cry oh cry our tears are not enough

[Verse]
G                   C  
Through firestorms and hurricanes
D                        G          G/F#
I'm 16 hours on an airplane
Em                    C 
10 thousand miles of ocean view
D                   G
Trying to get to you

[Bridge]
Bb               F
In this world of constant danger
Bb               C
I still look for kindness in strangers

[Refrain]
    F      Bb      C
And why oh why and why is not enough
       F      Bb      C
And we cry oh cry our tears are not enough

[Verse]
G                   C      
Walking through the driving rain
D                    G        G/F#
Just the thought of you remains
Em                    C 
Lines are down I can't get through
D                   G
Trying to get to you
Em                    C 
Lines are down I can't get through
D                    C 
Trying to get to you
