Tom: D
D
I sat on the doorstep
G A G
and watched her slowly walk away
G A D
She wasn't sad, she wasn't angry
G A D
Does she ever hear a word I say ?
I was only a dumb kid
playing parts I'd studied for a day
but I'm no actor
could never say a line to save my life
Bm
So what's the matter with indifference ?
G
It's just an easy way to kill the pain
A
You can't be crying when you're travelling
D
even when you know you've missed the train
So take your time, don't you worry
I'll be waiting, you know I'll be waiting
Don't want to be a ploughboy
seen my father break his back that way
I'm not a dreamer, I'm a builder
at least that's what the voices say
I can't let love spoil my chances
can't let a girl stand in my way
So it's the best thing to tell
her I'm just leaving for a day
and what's so wrong about deception
maybe I could change my mind and stay
You can't be crying, while your travelling
it won't be me that's crying anyway.
