Verse 1:
      C      Em         G
I'm in the car, I just needed to clear my head
       C       Em         G
She's in the house with the baby crying on the bed
        C        Em        G
She's got this thing where she puts the walls so high
                D
It doesn't matter how much you love
                C
It doesn't matter how hard you try


Verse 2:
     C      Em         G
We got a place with a fence and a little grass
      C              Em        G
I put this film on the windows, and it looks like chapel glass
       C          Em            G
But when shе turns, it’s like the shadow of the cross don’t cast
              D
No blеssing over our lonely life
                 C
It's like waiting for a train to pass, and I don’t know when it'll pass


Chorus:
    G                D
But I remember when she used to set the room on fire
     Em       C
With her eyes, swear to god
      G                D
It's like a flood of grief and sorrow from a haunted life
     Em      C       G G
When she cries, like a train, it's a lot


Verse 3:
      C      Em         G
I dropped a line to a flickering high school flame
      C      Em           G
We laughed about all the ways that our lives had changed
       C      Em    G
She’s up the road, about 35 miles north
            D
Got two little boys in school
           C
Just had a real bad divorce and in a moment of weakness


Chorus:
 G               D
I told her if she ever needed a helping hand
    Em       C
I would lend, swear to god
       G                 D
It's like the part of me that's screaming not to jump gets lost
    Em      C       G
In the sound of the train, it's a lot


Bridge:
Dsus4 Em7    C
     Trying hard
G    Dsus4
 Not to care
Em7     C
  Swear to God
