[Intro 1]
[D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
I [D]hear the train all night,
[A]sound of [D]its [A]wind blowing through
[D]Our subtle lives
And I have a job to do, walking these cars,
walking all [A]this [D]sleep
To get to you
But I don't [Bm]feel you stir [D]beside me
And you're not [Bm]in my morning hours
[A]

[Verse 2]
[D]Some ties are made to break,
[A]some stalks grow high and green to rot awa[G]y[A][G][A]
And feel the [D]weight
And these lines tell a truth,
[A]these city veins answer all we do[D]
So could you keep [Bm]me in th[D]e pulses?
Could you [Bm]keep me in the sound?
[A]

[Verse 3]
[D]I got wise and I got o[A]ld, not once,
not once did I [G]fold[A]

[Interlude 1]
So don't you now
[D]

[Verse 4]
Maybe you [D]bet on [A]me while we were
still young [G]enough to [A]know
What to believe
[D]But for every year you took,
[A]for every soft breath or loving[G] loo[A]k
Believe [D]me
And don't [Bm]keep me like you [D]have me
And don't [Bm]kiss me like you don't
[A]

[Verse 5]
[D]I got wise and I got o[A]ld, Not once,
not once did I [G]fold[A]

[Interlude 2]
So don't you now
[D][A][G][A][G][A]
[D]

[Verse 6]
Some land [D]holds a home,
[A]some of my yea[D]rs onl[A]y hold
Me [D]to roam
But I tell myself it's true,
[A]you see a home, you see a man
You see it [D]too
And I say, [Bm]"don't you
know you [D]have her?
Go on [Bm]kiss her now, you boy"
[A]

[Verse 7]
[D]I g[A]ot[G][A][D]
wise and I got old,
[A]not once, not once did I fol[G]d[A]

[Outro 1]
So don't you now
[D]
