One last thing I beg you please, just before you go
I've watched you fly on paper wings half way round the world until they
burned up in the atmosphere and sent you spiraling down
Landing somewhere far from here with no one else around
To catch you falling down
And I'm looking at you now
And I can't tell if you're laughing
Between each smile there's a tear in your eye
There's a train leaving town in an hour
It's not waiting for you and neither am I
Swing for the fences son, he must have told you once
That was a conversation you took nothing from so raise your
glass now and celebrate exactly what you've done
Just put off another day of knowing where you're from
You can catch up with yourself
if you run
And I can't tell if you're laughing
Between each smile there's a tear in your eye
There's a train leaving town in an hour
It's not waiting for you and neither am I
simply strum C for a few measures, if you want to include it, or just go on
x2
Is this the life that you lead?
Or the life thats led for you
Will you take the road
Thats been laid out before you?
Will we cross paths somewhere else tonight
(Somewhere else tonight)
X2
And I can't tell if you're laughing
Between each smile there's a tear in your eye
There's a train leaving town in an hour
It's not waiting for you and neither am I
And I can't tell if you're laughing
Between each smile there's a tear in your eye
There's a train leaving town in an hour
It's not waiting for you and neither am I

(This is just like the other version, Play it with the same timings,
just different chords)
One last thing I beg you please, just before you go
I've watched you fly on paper wings half way round the world until they
burned up in the atmosphere and sent you spiraling down
Landing somewhere far from here with no one else around
To catch you falling down
And I'm looking at you now
And I can't tell if you're laughing
Between each smile there's a tear in your eye
There's a train leaving town in an hour
It's not waiting for you and neither am I
Swing for the fences son, he must have told you once
That was a conversation you took nothing from
SO RAISE YOUR GLASS *now* AND celebrate exactly what you've done
Just put off another day of knowing where you're from
You can catch up with yourself
if you run

And I can't tell if you're laughing
Between each smile there's a tear in your eye
There's a train leaving town in an hour
It's not waiting for you and neither am I
And I can't tell if you're laughing
Between each smile there's a tear in your eye
There's a train leaving town in an hour
It's not waiting for you and neither am I
