G#m B
[Verse]
N.C. E G#m
I'm in the car, I just needed to clear my
B E G#m
head. She’s in the house with the baby
B E
crying on the bed. She's got this thing
G#m B
where she puts the walls so high
F#
It doesn't matter how much you love
E
It doesn’t matter how hard you try
N.C. E G#m
We got a place with a fence and a little
B E
grass. I put this film on the windows, and it
G#m B
looks like chapel glass. But when she
E G#m
turns, it's like the shadow of the cross
B F#
don't cast. No blessing over our lonely life
E
It's like waiting for a train to pass, and I
don't know when it'll pass
[Chorus]
B
But I remember whеn she used to set thе
F# G#m E
room on fire. With her eyes, swear to god.
B
It's like a flood of grief and sorrow from a
F# G#m E
haunted life. When she cries, like a train,
B
it's a lot
B (Played twice like in the verse as the transition)
[Verse]
E G#m
I dropped a line to a flickering high school
B E G#m
flame. We laughed about all the ways that
B E
our lives had changed. She’s up the road,
G#m B
about 35 miles north. Got two little boys in
F# E
school, just had a real bad divorce
And in a moment of weakness
[Chorus]
B F#
I told her if she ever needed a helping
G#m E
hand. I would lend, swear to god.
B
It’s like the part of me that's screaming
F# G#m
not to jump gets lost. In the sound of the
E B
train, it’s a lot
[Outro]
B F# G#m E
Trying hard
B F# G#m E
Not to care.
B F# G#m E
Swear to God
B F# G# E (The rest of the song)
