Train Under Water

By Bright Eyes

Key of C

C G You were born inside of a raindrop Fm C I watched you falling to your death C G And the sun, well it could not save you Fm C It'd fallen down too, the streets are wet
C G Body of water, toxic and timeless Fm C The Atlantic ocean, New York skyline C G I always get lost when I leave the village Fm C So I couldn't come meet you in Brooklyn last night
C G But I sing glory for my lowest Fm C And I will say peace to the people at me C G While the world waits for an explosion Fm C That instant of life that wipes that slate clean
C Am7/B
Am G So don't be fooled Am G So don't be lied to Am C G Love was always cruel
Am G Don't act strange Am G Don't be a stranger Am C G It happened to me, now it's happening to you
Fm But if you take that train underwater then we could talk it through
C G Fm C C G Fm C
C G Well if I could tame all of my desires Fm C Wait out the weather that howls in my brain C G Because it seems that it's always changing Fm C The wind's indecision, the sorrowful rain
C G I was a postcard, I was a record Fm C I was a camera until I went blind C G Now I'm riding all over this island Fm C Looking for something to open my eyes
C G Well we still sing glory from a highrise Fm C And I will say thanks if you're pouring my drinks C G While the world waits for an explosion Fm C That moment in time when we are set free
C Am7/B
Am G So don't stay mad Am G Just let some time pass Am C G And in the morning you'll wake feeling new
Am G And if I don't come back Am G I mean, if I get sidetracked Am C G It's only 'cause I wanted to
Fm Keeping up with the moon on an all night avenue
C G Fm C C G Fm C
