From "Good For You" (2013)
[Intro]
| G G/F# | F C | Am D | . F C G |
[Verse]
|G G/F# |F C |
. There's a dark cloud hangin' over my head
|G G/F# |F C |
. And the air it . smells like rain ..
|G G/F# |F C |
. I'm all alone here . at this railroad station
|G G/F# |F C C/B |
. And I'm rememb'ring what she said . . .
|Am |G |
. She told me that she's gonna leave him
|Bm C |Am D |
. We could run away and go just where we please ..
[Chorus]
|G G/F# |
Now I'm standin' on the platform feelin' like a fool
|F C
Starin' at my feet and I don't know what to do
|Am D |G D
She says she's comin' but she might have changed her mind ..
|G G/F# |
So, I'm ringin' her phone, feelin' so alone
|F C
Thinkin' that I might as well just go home
|Am D |. F C G |
My baby's late, but the train is right on time
[Verse]
|G G/F# |F C |
. We used to meet at the motel by the railroad station
|G G/F# |F C |
. Each and every afternoon ..
|G G/F# |F C |
. And she'd whisper in my ear, oh, so sweetly
|G G/F# |F C C/B
. We would be together soon . . .
|Am |G |
. I got a funny kind of feelin'
|Bm C |Am D |
That leavin' him wasn't the easiest thing to do, no
[Chorus]
|G G/F# |
So, I'm standin' on the platform feelin' like a fool
|F C
Starin' at my feet and I don't know what to do
|Am D |G D
She says she's comin' but she might have changed her mind ..
|G G/F# |
I'm ringin' her phone, feelin' so alone
|F C
Thinkin' that I might as well just go home
|Am D |. F C G |
My baby's late, but the train is right on time
[Bridge]
|Em |C
. Still waitin', . I'm still waitin'
|A |C D |
. Oh, and here comes the rain . Ah, there goes my train
[Break]
| G G/F# | F C | Am D | G D |
[Chorus]
|G G/F# |
Standin' on the platform feelin' like a fool
|F C
Starin' at my feet and I don't know what to do
|Am D |G D
She says she's comin' but she might have changed her mind ..

Now, I'm ringin' her phone, feelin' so alone
