Sometimes you see someone
                    G/B
When you've already got someone
                         Am
Still you wonder what if they had come
              F
Along, a long time ago
                      C
You know that they're feeling it too
                        G/B
But there ain't nothin' you gonna do
                Am                                      F
Except for ima- -gine who you might have been with them
Am          G/B               F
They're not tryin' to make it last
Am                 G/B            F
Just enjoying each second as they pass

[Chorus]
                 C
'Cause as these little brick houses are flying by
           G
'Neath the flickering of the railcar lights
  Am                                      F
I let myself get lost in your eyes awhile
       C
Not a- -nother passenger in here can see
       G
How in my mind you're holdin' me
           Am                                        F
While out- -side the cold makes snow out of the rain
       Am             G/B
But in here were just strangers on a train (C-G-Am-F)

[Verse]
C
Start to smile, I turn my head
G/B
It's kinda like a spider's web
Am                                 F
I just can't seem to shake you off
C
So I look your way again
G/B
You're staring off trying to pretend
Am                                      F
Like you haven't even noticed me at all
Am             G/B                  F
But don't feel guilty it don't mean much
Am               G/B             F                G
The truth is the two of us ain't ever gonna touch

[Chorus]
C
Brakes grind, I gotta go
G/B
Reach down pick up my coat
Am                                         F
Afraid that you might stop me in the aisle
C
Watch my breath rising in the air
G/B
I can't do nothing but just stand there
Am                                        F
As you press your hand against the window pane
      Am         G/B
And I wave to my stranger on a train 
C F
My stranger on a train
