  			(VERSE 1) 
   G              C 
I hear you in the distance 
      D             G 
And I see you in my mind 
   C               G 
I wonder where you go to 
     C            D 
When you leave me behind 
  G                C 
I wonder who waits for you 
  D                Em 
Dreaming just like I 
  C             D                    G 
Talking to that passin' train in the night 
 
(VERSE 2) 
    G                C 
The world lies out before you 
    D              G 
But you keep coming back 
   C         G 
Tellin' no secrets 
    C            D 
And never losin' track 
   G             C 
This place you're goin 
   D              Em 
Do you have to go alone? 
   C           D             G 
Tell me passin train I gotta know 
 
(BRIDGE 1) 
     C           D                 G 
Tell me just how far that I should go 
     C              G 
Tell me deeper than meanin' 
   C             D 
I'll always be gone 
 
(VERSE 3) 
   G               C 
Can you promise me tomorrow 
   D                G 
When today's no longer mine 
   C            D                 G 
Just like that passin' train in the night 
 
(BRIDGE 2) 
  Em              C 
I see the wheels turnin' 
  Em                      C 
I feel the fire inside me burnin' 
      D 
Am I learnin'? 
 
(VERSE 4) 
            G           C 
Guess I'll never find tomorrow 
      D                G 
Till today's no longer mine 
   C           D               G          D     G 
Just like that passin train in the night, whoa whoa 
   C           D               G 
Just like that passin train in the night.
