  			Intro: G 

He took a silver train 

All the way to Maine 
       C 
On the way to everything 
G 
Railroad wings 



There's things you don't know you know 
          C 
I thought anger told me what to do 
     G 
With emptiness chasing me 


D                       D7    C 
On the border, I found you 
            G 
Should have heard her sing 

Railroad wings 


     C 
This emptiness has followed me 
       G 
Like a cold blue sky 
    C                        G 
And it has not been easy for you 
        C 
There's things I'll never tell you 
         G 
'Til the day I die 
         D                   C 
Things I done, I can never undo 


G 
Hiding everything 

Railroad wings 


INTERLUDE: C   G   C   G   C   G  Em  D   C 


G 
All these years along 

The lights are growing dim 
  C 
I hear you sing your song 
       G 
In the next room 


   C 
As far as I can tell 
     G                Em 
Most everything means nothing 
       D 
Except some things 
          C 
That mean everything 
G
