Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Sometimes you  see someone
 When you've already  got someone
 Still you wonder what if  they had come
 Along, a long  time ago
 You know that they're  feeling it too
 But there ain't nothin'  you gonna do
 Except for ima-  -gine who you might have been with them
   They're not  tryin' to make it  last
   Just enjoying each  second as they  pass
 'Cause as these  little brick houses are flying by
 'Neath the  flickering of the railcar lights
 I  let myself get lost in your eyes awhile
 Not a-  -nother passenger in here can see
 How in  my mind you're holdin' me
 While out-  -side the cold makes snow out of the rain
 But in  here were just  strangers on a train (---)
   Start to smile, I turn my head
   It's kinda like a spider's web
   I just can't seem to shake you off
   So I look your way again
   You're staring off trying to pretend
   Like you haven't even noticed me at all
   But don't feel  guilty it don't mean  much
   The truth is the  two of us ain't  ever gonna touch
   Brakes grind, I gotta go
   Reach down pick up my coat
   Afraid that you might stop me in the aisle
   Watch my breath rising in the air
   I can't do nothing but just stand there
   As you press your hand against the window  pane
 And I  wave to my  stranger on a train (-)
 My stranger on a train

 [Am]  They're not  [G/B]  tryin' to make it  [F]  last
 [Am]  Just enjoying each  [G/B]  second as they  [F]  pass

'Cause as these  [C]  little brick houses are flying by
'Neath the  [G]  flickering of the railcar lights
I  [Am]  let myself get lost in your eyes awhile  [F]
Not a- [C] -nother passenger in here can see

My stranger on a train
