E C#m
I was dreaming last night
A figment of my brain
( A B)
On the downtown train And we had nowhere to go
E C#m
So we got off to take a walk
E C#m
In the pouring rain
E
You said you rode it once
C#m A
And you would ride it again
B
Please take me with you
{Chorus}
A B E
Tom waits for the morning train
C#m
To take us away
A B
Me and mr. Tom Waits
E C#m
Can't wait no more
E C#m
{Piano}

E C#m
I'm wrapped around your finger
Two fingers on my lips
No need to speak
A B
Cause it's all in our eyes
E C#m
When they turned out the lights
They gave us one for the road
We headed for the tracks
A
And never looked back
B
This could never be___ real
{Chorus}
A B E
Tom waits for the morning train
C#m
To take us away
A B
Me and mr. Tom Waits
E C#m
Can't wait no more Can't wait no more
E C#m
On the downtown train
E C#m E
Me and mister tom waits
