Intro: (d dsus2) (d dsus2) (d dsus2) (d dsus2)

(d) i'm (dsus2) not made for this,
(d) i'm not in (dsus2) shape
(bm) my heart don't bend like that,
It just breaks (bm/a)
(gmaj9) when we bring your bags
Down to the tracks
(d) that take you (dsus2) back (d dsus2)

(d) i'm (dsus2) no good at this,
(d) don't know what (dsus2) to do
(bm) waiting on this platform,
All these people waiting too (bm/a)
(gmaj9) i don't say much
'cause i don't want to say "stay" (d dsus2) (d dsus2)

Chorus:
Don't the sun (d) cry (em7add4) fire
In the sky (d/f#) every (gmaj9) night
When it (d) tries (dmaj7/f#)
(gmaj9) to say (d) goodbye (dsus2) (d dsus2)

(d) i (dsus2) curse the train
(d) and it's shin- (dsus2) y steel
(bm) when the whistle blows,
I curse the wheels (bm/a)
(gmaj9) and i curse my heart
For the way it feels, (d) oh (dsus2) (d dsus2)

(d) while everybody comes (dsus2) down
(bm) they just got the word on
The next train, next (bm/a) town
(gmaj9) and i'm pretty sure now
You're gonna come around a- (d) gain (dsus2) (d dsus2)

Chorus:
Don't the sun (d) cry (em7add4) fire
In the sky (d/f#) every (gmaj9) night
