Bsus4
I've seen the Ides of March
     Asus2
I've seen the fall of Rome
Bsus4
I've seen all kinds of stuff
      Asus2
But I never see my home

Bsus4
If my lifeline is
      Asus2
These million miles of track
F#m
One thing I know by now
      B
There is no turning back

              Asus2
From a moving train
              C#m
From a moving train
              Asus2
From a moving train
              C#m
From a moving train

Bsus4
If every venture was
  Asus2
A path to no avail
Bsus4
I'd still be rolling down
     Asus2
This never-ending trail

Bsus4             Asus2
If we had a destination

In our sights
F#m
We would be helpless as
   B
We passed it in the night

              Asus2
From a moving train (hear the engine running)
              C#m
From a moving train (you can get on board)
              Asus2
From a moving train (hear the motor humming)
              C#m
From a moving train
(see the light, you've gotta see the light)

G#m                         Asus2
And if by chance you find a woman
G#m                           Asus2
That you might love along the way
F#m
You'd better hold her tight
G#m/E
Tell her everything's all right
Asus2                        B
Or she might jump along the way

              Asus2
From a moving train (hear the engine running)
              C#m
From a moving train (you can get on board)
              Asus2
From a moving train (hear the motor humming)
              C#m
From a moving train
(see the light, you've gotta see the light)

              Asus2
From a moving train (hear the engine running)
              C#m
From a moving train (you can get on board)
              Asus2
From a moving train (hear the motor humming)
              C#m
From a moving train
(see, you've gotta see the light)
