C 
I hear the train all night 
G                          Am    G                C 
sound of its wind blowing through our subtle lives 
                       G 
and i have a job to do walking these cars 
        Am         G            C 
walking all asleep to get to you 
                
            Am             C 
but I don't feel your stir beside me 
            Am             G 
and your not in my morning hour 

C 
some ties are made to break 
G                                  Am      G 
some stalks grow high and green to rot away 
               C 
and feel the wake 


C 
and these lines tell the truth 
G                        Am       G C 
these city veins answer all you do 
               Am              C 
so could you keep me in the pulses 
            Am               G 
could you keep me in the sound 

C                       G 
i got wise and I got old 
                           Am   G 
not once, not once did I fall 
             C 
so don't you know 

C 
maybe you bet on me 
G                            Am         G 
while we were still young enough to know 
C 
or to believe 

C 
for every year you took 
G                         Am         G 
for every soft breathe or loving look 
C 
believe me 

         Am               C 
and dont keep me like you have me 
         Am                G 
and dont kiss me like you don't 

C                      G 
I got wise and I got old 
                          Am  G 
not once, not once did I fall 
             C 
so dont you now 

C 
some land holds a home 
G                       Am G                  
some of my years only hold  
C 
me to Rome 

C 
but I tell myself its true 
G                        Am  G 
you see a home you see a man 
C 
you see it too 

          Am                   C 
and I say don't you know you have her 
       Am               G 
go on kiss her now you boy 

C                       G 
i got wise and I got old 
                           Am G 
not once, not once did I fall 
             C 
so don't you know 

C                       G 
i got wise and I got old 
                            Am G 
not once, not once did I fall 
             C 
so don't you know
