[C]Station was [G]empty, [D]Trains were all [G]gone.
[C]Reached in my [G]pocket, And [D]waited for [G]dawn.

Chorus:
[C]The clock played [G]drums, And [D]I hummed the [G]sax.
And the [C]wind whistled down, The [D]railroad [G]tracks.
Hey [C]three for a [G]quarter, [D]One for a [G]dime.
I'll [C]bet it's tomorrow, By R[D]ocky Mountain [G]time.


[C]Walked in the [G]restaurant, For [D]something to [G]do
[C]Waitress yelled [G]at me, And [D]so did the [G]food
And the [C]water tastes [G]funny, When you're [D]far from your [G]home
But it's [C]only the thirsty, That [D]hunger to [G]roam

(Repeat chorus)

We'll [F]build us a castle on [G]Main Street
And [F]pretend that we're down on the [G]farm
Hell, [F]we'll hold out as long as we [G]have to
Then we'll [A]twist off each other's [D]arm

[G]Christ I'm so [C]mixed up and [G]lonely
I can't [C]even make [B/C]friends with my [G]brain
I'm too [C]young to [B/C]be where I'm g[G]oing
But I'm [C]too old t[B/C]o go back a[G]gain

[C]Station was [G]empty, [D]Trains were all [G]gone.
[C]Reached in my [G]pocket, And [D]waited for [G]dawn.

(Repeat Chorus)
