On a train ride from some place bad

I had all that I could swallow.

Oh, fair haired travelling girl

It's just the seat that you have is wrong
Verse:
F Am
Her eyes were packing passed regrets.
Bb C Am
In her lips there was redemption
F Am
And she mistook my coat for love.
Bb C Am
As she wore it for affection
F Am
And as she took the seat beside me.
Bb C Am
I inhaled all of her laughter
F Am
And she forgot there is a past.

And I forgot there is an after.

And wrapped up in my coat of shame.

I knew that she'd go on without me.
