  			(intro)  (A Bb B C C# D C A Bb B C) 

    C                                D/C 
I’m al-ways running behind the time 
              G7sus4       C 
Just like this      train 
F7 
   Shaking into town 
Am                         C       G 
   With the brakes com-plai-ning 

D/C                                      C 
    I used to count lovers like railroad  cars 
I counted them on my side 
F7                       Am7 
Late-ly I don’t count on noth-ing 
                 C 
I just let things slide 

            G                       F/G 
The station mas-ter’s shuffling cards 
             G 
Box cars are bang-ing in the yards 

Jealous lovin’ll make you crazy 
If you can’t find your goodness 
F7                        D9   Gm9   C 
  ‘Cause you lost your heart 

(A Bb B C C# D C A Bb B C) 

       C 
I went look-ing for a cause 
Or a strong cat without claws 
  D/C                G7sus4 
Or   any reason to re-    -sume 
    C F7 
And I   found this empty seat 
Am                       C 
  In this crowded waiting room 
G 
Ev-erybody waiting 

D/C                         C 
    Old man sleeping on his  bags 
Women with that teased-up kind of hair 
F7                       Am 
Kids with the jitters in their legs 
               C 
And those wide, wide open stares 
                 G                      F/G 
And the kids got Cokes and chocolate bars 
                   G 
There’s a thin man smo-king a fat cigar 

Jealous lovin’ll make you crazy 
If you can’t find your goodness 
F7                        D9 
  ‘Cause you lost your heart 

Gm7 
    What are you gonna do now? 
                                      C 
You’ve got no one to give your love to 

(A Bb B C C# D C A Bb B C) 
      C 
Well, I’ve got this berth 
And this roll-down blind 
D/C                      G7sus4 
   I’ve got this fold-up sink 
    C     F7                    Am 
And these rocks and cactuses go-ing by 
      C                               G 
And a bottle of German wine to drink 

D/C                               C 
    Settle down into the clickety-clack 
With the clouds and the stars to read 
F7                            Am 
Dream-ing of the pleasure I’m gon-na have 
              C 
Watching your hair-line recede 
My vain darling 

              G                       G13 
Watching your hair and clouds and stars 
                G                G13 
I’m rocking away in a sleeping car 
                G                           G13 
This jealous lov-ing’s bound to make me cra-zy 
                F7                      D9 
I can’t find my good-ness, I lost my heart 
             Gm7                      C 
Oh, sour grapes, because I lost my heart 

(A Bb B C C# D C A Bb B C)
