[Verse 1]
Bm                     G
Pull them in with your glossy stare,
  D                          A
Addicted eyes preaching life just ain’t fair,
         Bm     G                       A
So to the words, counting on the ones you know,
          Bm    G             A
So to the words, no ain’t just gold,
Bm                    G
The feeding head to a family,
     D                         A                 Bm      G   A
Your kids kept crying, begging daddy please come home to me.


[Chorus]
Bm  G           D
Hey,  jump that train,
       Bm              G           D
Giving twenty years to whiskey and cocaine,
Bm  G           D
Hey,  jump that train,
                 Bm                       G                D
The rail's gonna end when your soul gives in to the devils way,
                 Bm                       G*               D
The rail's gonna end when your soul gives in to the devils way.


[Verse 2]
Bm                      G
Running scared past the county line,
  D                           A
A noose stock burning bridgеs far behind,
           Bm                 G         A
So can you kick the train you left hеre on?
          Bm             G       A
You can’t kick the train on your own,
Bm              G
Fading out as a memory,
       D                             A
If the bottle don’t tip you’ll never be set free,
          Bm        G           A
So listen in to the wind as she screams.


[Chorus]
Bm  G           D
Hey,  jump that train,
       Bm              G           D
Giving twenty years to whiskey and cocaine,
Bm  G           D
Hey,  jump that train,
                 Bm                       G                D
The rail's gonna end when your soul gives in to the devils way,
                 Bm                       G*               D
The rail's gonna end when your soul gives in to the devils way.

[Bridge]
Bm  A         D  A
Why can’t you see?
Bm        A
We’re all standing here,
D
As friends and family
    Bm  A         D  A
And why can’t you hear?
Bm                 A         D
All your walls are closing in screaming loud to jump again, said:


[Chorus]
Bm*  G*         D
Hey,  jump that train,
       Bm              G           D
Giving twenty years to whiskey and cocaine,
Bm  G           D
Hey,  jump that train,
                 Bm                       G                D
The rail's gonna end when your soul gives in to the devils way,
Bm*
Hey jump that train.
