A E F#m D
People expect you to fall, hit that same old wall
A E F#m D
Really they don't want to help at all
A E F#m D
They talk behind your back today, they shake their heads and say
A E F#m D
Well I always knew that the boy would come to no good anyway
A E F#m D
You better pack up and go, to Detroit or Buffalo
A E F#m D
Anybody wanna know where, You don't know, You don't know, no
A E F#m D
God knows everybody's gotta go sometime
A E F#m D
So I'm taking this train to the end of the line
A E A E
Missing every mile that friend of mine
A E F#m D
I haven't been too well myself, a lot of time on the shelf
A E F#m D
Saying that I don't need help when I do. Yes I do
A E F#m D
But you know I'm gonna be just fine, a lot of friends, a little wine
A E F#m D
But still I wish I could see you again sometime
A E F#m D
But I, I better pack up and go, to Detroit or Buffalo
A E F#m D
Anybody wanna know where, I don't know, I don't know, no
A E F#m D
God knows everybody's gotta go sometime
A E F#m D
So I'm taking this train to the end of the line

Missing every mile that friend of mine

It's hard to open up the door, like you've done so many times before
A E F#m D
And sometimes you think you just can't do it anymore
A E F#m D
So take a chance and take a train, out into the pouring rain
A E F#m D
When all you've got is your suitcase full of pain. And I say...
A E F#m D
You better pack up and go, to Detroit or Buffalo
A E F#m D
Anybody wanna know where, You don't know, You don't know, no
A E F#m D
God knows everybody's gotta go sometime
A E F#m D
So I'm taking this train to the end of the line
A E A E
Missing every mile that friend of mine
