Capo 2
C
I hear the train all night
GAmGC
sound of its wind blowing through our subtle lives
G
and i have a job to do walking these cars
AmGC
walking all asleep to get to you
AmC
but I don't feel your stir beside me
AmG
and your not in my morning hour
C
some ties are made to break
GAmG
some stalks grow high and green to rot away
C
and feel the wake
C
and these lines tell the truth
GAmC
these city veins answer all you do
AmC
so could you keep me in the pulses
AmG
could you keep me in the sound
CG
i got wise and I got old
AmG
not once, not once did I fall
C
so don't you know
C
maybe you bet on me
GAmG
while we were still young enough to know
C
or to believe
C
for every year you took
GAmG
for every soft breathe or loving look
C
believe me
AmC
and dont keep me like you have me
AmG
and dont kiss me like you don't
CG
I got wise and I got old
AmG
not once, not once did I fall
C
so dont you now
C
some land holds a home
GAmG
some of my years only hold
C
me to Rome
C
but I tell myself its true
GAmG
you see a home you see a man
C
you see it too
AmC
and I say don't you know you have her
AmG
go on kiss her now you boy
CG
i got wise and I got old
AmG
not once, not once did I fall
C
so don't you know
CG
i got wise and I got old
AG
not once, not once did I fall
C
so don't you know
