[Verse 1]
F C F C
I once fell in love it was long time ago
G C
And a thousand miles away
F C
With a plain Jane face, waitress body
F C G C
And a smile like the storm we had today
F C
I guess it's just a young man's folly
F C G C
You've got a heart so you've got to give it away
F C
Well I'd be better off with Mastercard
F C G C
Nobody told me I'd ever have to pay
[Chorus]
F C
Midnight train I hear
F C G C
Don't mean nothin' but the song in my ear
F C
Midnight train I hear
F C G C
Don't mean nothin' but the sound in my ear
[Verse 2]
F C
She told me that she loved me
F C G C
Just before I had to go away
F C
I didn't have my camcorder handy
F C G C
So in a court of law I bet she'd get away
F C
She told me that she loved me
F C G C
Just like I'm singin' here today
F C
Ever since then I've been in love
F C G C
With the girl who said she loved me when I had to go away
[Chorus]
F C
Midnight train I hear
F C G C
Don't mean nothin' but the sound in my ear
F C
Midnight train I hear
F C G C
Don't mean nothin' but the sound in my ear
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
F C
I ain't no Masters and Johnson
F C G C
I ain't got no business on that old
F C
But I got myself a few theories
F C G C
About the way that this whole love thing goes
F C
How did she know I'd be her one and only
F C G C
How did she know my obsession would grow
F C
How did she know I'd keep that torch burnin' brightly
F C G C
Well, she didn't, I just thought she did but that's how love goes
[Chorus]
F C
Midnight train I hear
F C G C
Don't mean nothin' but the sound in my ear
F C
Midnight train I hear

Don't mean nothin' but the sound in my ear

[Verse 4]
F C
She told me that she loved me
F C G C
But I got a hunch she told some others that too
F C
The truth of the matter is I have also
F C G C
Probably meant it more than when I said it to you
F C
She told me that she loved me
F C G C
Just like I'm singin' here today
F C
Ever since then I've been in love

With the girl who said she loved me when I had to go away

I know you got your somebody somewhere
F C G C
And you can't lose as long as he's there
F C G C
But the cars on the lot are goin' nowhere

Goin' nowhere
