Southbound Train Chords

(ver. 1)
Jon Foreman
[Intro]
D G D G D G
 
[Verse 1]
D     G             A        D
Oh, I guess they'll say I've grown
  G                A         Bm
I know more than I wanted to know
          E7                    A7
I've said more than I wanted to say
           D
I'm headed home
G             A      D
Yeah, but I'm not so sure
G     A         Bm
 That home is a place
              G         D     G A
You can still get to by train
 
 
[Chorus 1]
       Bm
So I'm looking out the window
        E
And I'm drifting off to sleep
        Bm                          G
With my face pressed up against the pane
         D
With the rhythm of my heart
        G
And the ringing in my ears
         A                        D      G D G
It's the rhythm of the southbound train
 
 
[Verse 3]
D                                          G
Oh, where the wind starts to look like her hair
                                  A
And the clouds in her bright blue eyes
                                  G
As the sea and the shore fall and rise
                                      D
Like her breast as she breathes by my side
                                G
And the moon is her lips as the sun
                          A
Is headed on down to the sea
                                  G
Like her head as she lays down on me
                     Bm
Until we reach ocean side
                 G
Over and over, I hear the same refrain
 
 
[Chorus 2]
         D
It's the rhythm of my heart
       G
And my sleepy girl's breathing
         A                       D      G D G D G Bm G
It's the rhythm of my southbound train
 
 
[Verse 4]
D       G                 A           D
Oh, I suppose they'll say I should've known
   G         A            Bm
Or maybe I'm just feeling old
       E7                    A7
Like a lawyer with no one to blame
           D
I'm headed home
G             A      D
Yeah, but I'm not so sure
G     A         Bm
 That home is a place
        G               D G A
That'll ever be the same
 
 
[Chorus 3]
      Bm
So we gather up our things
       E
And we head out in the cold
         Bm                           G
And your eyes are where you carry the pain
       D
When I hear the whistle weeping
     G
It's crying to the sky
         A                       G
It's the rhythm of the southbound train
         A                        D     G D G D
It's the rhythm of the southbound train
