G            Em         Am
If there's a fine, I'll pay it
G              Em           Am
If you are destroyed, I'll call another ride
G              Em          Am
If that's the game you're playing
G                Em          Am
Let me know the rules and I will be alright

Chorus:
G      Em     C
Always waiting
G      Em     C
Always waiting

If there's a pill, I'll swallow
Gazing out the window, we could do it all
The sentiment will follow
If you are home soon, then we can leave tonight

Chorus - x2

D7                             G               D7
Getting on the last train and no one can stop me
                                 G             D7
Getting on the last freight and no one can follow
                               G               D7
Getting on the last train and no one can stop me
                                  G            D7
Getting on the last freight, I'm leaving in a fog

     G            D7 G D7
I'm leaving in a fog

Em
If there's a role, I'll play it

Chorus:
G
Always waiting
C       D
Always waiting
G
Artificial
C         D
Light cascading
G
Cool dismissal
C       D
Self-effacing
Em       Bm
Bored in Bristol
C       D
Always waiting
D            G   Em  Am
Waiting, waiting
