Royal Station 4/16 - Melissa Etheridge
{define: F(2) 1 3 1 2 3 x x}
{c:intro}
[F(2)] [C] [G]
(repeat 4x)
[G]It's so hard to listen to these trains
outside my window. Here it comes again.
And it's [C7]calling me, begging me
follow me down the track.
And it [G7]moans so dark and low baby
ain't coming back.
{c:chorus}
{start_of_chorus}
I re[F]fuse to believe it could [C]happen to me and [G]you
But it's [F]lonesome and it's [C7]hard and it's [G7]true.
{end_of_chorus}
I got this[G] whiskey to take care of my lips
I got these long cool steel strings at my fingertips.
But I [C7]ain't got nothin', I ain't got nothin'
to soothe my aching soul
[G7]Except this screeching and screaming iron
to tell me where I ought to go.
{c:chorus}
And I hear the [C7]train sigh and idle down below.
Why your [G7]love is so sweet and wild is something
I'll never know.
[F(2)] [C] [G]
(repeat 4x)
And it [G7]sounds like crying and it sounds like letting go.
Oh, [F]breathing and lying, [C7]sinking and dying [G7]slow.
And I [C7]watch from my window touching the cold glass
sky. And as the [G7]train rolls down the track
I say goodbye.
[F] [C] [G]
(repeat and ad lib to fade..)
"I wanna go home, take me home, no no no, etc."
