E A/C#
I know it's time to travel it's
E A/C#
The thing that takes a life
E A/C#
I remember knowing who I am
E A/C#
Maybe it'll be alright
A
But I've got to leave it here
E A/C# E A/C#
I've got to leave you here
E A/C#
I know I gave no reasons
E A/C#
And nothing here is clear
E A/C#
But what it is I'm feeling oh
E A/C#
It's giving me the fear
A
I've got to head away
E A/C# E A/C#
I've got to get away
[Chorus]
B
It's time that I was leaving as those
A E A/C# E A/C#
Shadows fall on the midnight train
[Verse 2]
E A/C#
In time you know I'd leave you running
E A/C#
I just don't fit the world
E A/C#
This is something that I've tried
E A/C#
But it just don't work
A
Is there some other way
E A/C# E A/C#
Oh is there another way?
E A/C#
I can't explain the reason
E A/C#
I just don't feel alright
E A/C#
I know I've tried to smile and wave
E A/C#
But I've got no fight
A
Left in me babe
E A/C# E A/C#
No not in me babe
[Chorus]
B
It's time that I was leaving as those
A E A/C# E A/C#
Shadows fall on the midnight train
E A/C# E A/C#
The midnight train
[Interlude]
A E A/C# E A/C# x2
[Verse 3]
E A/C#
And even as we roll away
E A/C#
The weight begins to fall
E A/C#
I didn't leave in hope for you
E A/C#
I just hurried down the hall
A
There's no other way
E A/C# E A/C#
There's no other way
[Chorus]
B
It's time that I was leaving as those
A E A/C# E A/C#
Shadows fall on the midnight train
B
It's time that I was leaving as that
A E A/C# E A/C#
Whistle blows for the midnight train
E A/C# E A/C#
Midnight train
E A/C# E A/C#
The midnight train
E
On the midnight train
