[Intro]
C#m E C#m E
[Verse]
C#m E C#m E
I was dreaming I was tied to a train track twisting in the sun
C#m E A E
Burning up hoping the trains hadn't quit rolling I was ready for it to be done
A E E
But when you need a train it never comes
[Verse]
I woke up to you wearing your winter coat
You're leaving everything here but your phone
And I leaned out the window but the tracks below
Were quiet, calm, and cold
When you need a train it never comes
When you need a train it never comes
[Chorus]
F#m F#m E E
The union pacific is due for a visit
B B F#m F#m
And believe me I got a plan
B A E
But the plan's no good without the train
B A E
And when you need a train it never comes
B A E E
When you need a train it never comes
[Verse]
Standing in the kitchen with all the dirty dishes
You left a lot of things here undone
The washer's leaking and the porch light's broken
Things you said you'd get around to
[Verse]
I could use a distraction and the noise of the engine
Its rumblin' would at least be a break
From these thoughts screaming and your voice haunting
The only thing louder is trains
The only thing louder is trains
[Chorus]
The union pacific is due for a visit
And believe me I got a plan
But the plan's no good without the train
And when you need a train it never comes
When you need a train it never comes
[Verse]
Crying in the sweater you gave me in this weather-
What am I supposed to do?
You can't leave me with your things as some sort of trade
Cuz you're wanting something new
It's mean and it's cruel.
[Chorus]
The union pacific is due for a visit
And believe me I got a plan
But the plan's no good without the train
And when you need a train it never comes
When you need a train it never comes
