Intro
[C#m] [E] [C#m] [E]
Verse
I was [C#m]dreaming I was tied to a [E]train track twisting in the [C#m]sun[E]
[C#m]Burning up hoping the [E]trains hadn't quit rolling I was [A]ready for it to be
[E]done
But [A]when you need a train it never [E]comes[E]
Verse
I [C#m]woke up to you wearing your [E]winter coat
You're leaving [C#m]everything here but your [E]phone
And I [C#m]leaned out the window but the [E]tracks below
Were [A]quiet, calm, and [E]cold
[A]When you need a train it never [E]comes
[A]When you need a train it never [E]comes[E]
Chorus
The [F#m]union pacific [F#m]is due for a [E]visit[E]
And [B]believe me [B] I got a [F#m]plan[F#m]
But the [B]plan's no [A]good without the [E]train
And [B]when you need a [A]train it never [E]comes
[B]When you need a [A]train it never [E]comes[E]
Verse
[C#m]Standing in the kitchen with [E]all the dirty dishes
You [C#m]left a lot of things here [E]undone
The [C#m]washer's leaking and the [E]porch light's broken
[A]Things you said you'd get [E]around to
Verse
I could [C#m]use a distraction and the [E]noise of the engine
Its [C#m]rumblin' would at least be a [E]break
From [C#m]these thoughts screaming and [E]your voice haunting
The [A]only thing louder is [E]trains
The [A]only thing louder is [E]trains[E]
Chorus
The [F#m]union pacific [F#m]is due for a [E]visit[E]
And [B]believe me [B] I got a [F#m]plan[F#m]
But the [B]plan's no [A]good without the [E]train
And [B]when you need a [A]train it never [E]comes
[B]When you need a [A]train it never [E]comes[E]
Verse
[C#m]Crying in the sweater you [E]gave me in this weather-
[C#m]What am I supposed to [E]do?
You can't [C#m]leave me with your things as [E]some sort of trade
Cuz you're [A]wanting something [E]new
It's [A]mean and it's [E]cruel.
Chorus
The [F#m]union pacific [F#m]is due for a [E]visit[E]
And [B]believe me [B] I got a [F#m]plan[F#m]
But the [B]plan's no [A]good without the [E]train
And [B]when you need a [A]train it never [E]comes
[B]When you need a [A]train it never [E]comes[E]
