D
That Santa Fe still blows the whistle
Bm
But it doesn&rsquo t stop in town much anymore
G D A
It&rsquo s been so long I can&rsquo t remember what it ever stopped here for
D
I used to stand out by the crossing
Bm
And watch other people get on
G D A
Then I&rsquo d wait there alone until that train was gone
G D A D
I think all trains carry secrets
G D A
That only the passengers know
G D A Bm
I&rsquo d get on board if I could
G A
But I&rsquo ve run out of places to go
Em D/F# G
Chasing trains that won&rsquo t take me home
D
I&rsquo ve given good years to the work life
Bm
I&rsquo ve given my children a chance
G D A
I try my best but someday I know it&rsquo s all out of my hands
D
You can only live so long on daydreams
Bm
You can only go so far on faith
G D A
But sometimes when I close my eyes I can still see that train
G D A D
I think all trains carry secrets
G D A
That only the passengers know
G D A Bm
I&rsquo d get on board if I could
G A
But I gave up a long time ago
Em D/F# G
Chasing trains that won&rsquo t take me home
Bm A G7M
Every now and then
Bm A G
I still remember when
D
This morning I walked to the station
Bm
And stood all alone by the tracks
G D A
Just like I&rsquo d done before, except this time my bags were packed
D
I must have stood there for hours
Bm
But the train never came in
G D A
So I left my suitcase behind, and I&rsquo m not going back again
G D A D
I think all trains carry secrets
G D A
That only the passengers know
G D A Bm
I&rsquo d get on board if I could
G A
But I think that it's time to let go
Em D/F# G
Chasing trains
Em D/F# G
Chasing trains
Em D/F# G
Chasing trains that won't take me home
