E
I choose me, and I know that's   selfish, love
G#m7
You are a dream, and I can't   thank you enough
A
But I give another piece of me away
Am7
Every wakin' day that I'm   with you

Am I a monster? What will your family think of me?
They brought me in, they helped me out with everything
But I give a little piece of me away
Every single day

Chorus:
E
So I pick up the pieces, I get on the midnight train
G#m7
I got my reasons, but darlin' I can't explain
A
I'll always love you
       Am7
But tonight's the night I choose to walk away
 E
Bah-bah, doo, bah-bah, doo
G#m7                     A Am7
Bah-bah, doo, bah-bah, doo

Love you so much that I have to let you go
I'll miss your touch and the secrets we both know
But it would be wrong for me to stay
And I'll just give you hope

Chorus:
So I pick up the pieces, I get on the midnight train
I got my reasons, but darlin', I can't explain
I'll always love you
But tonight's the night I choose to walk away
I can't stop cryin', I hate that I've caused you pain
But I can't deny it, I just don't feel the same
I'll always love you
But tonight's the night I choose to walk away
Bah-bah, doo, bah-bah, doo
Bah-bah, doo, bah-bah, doo
So I pick up the pieces, I get on the midnight train
I got my reasons, but darlin', I can't explain
I'll always love you
But tonight's the night I choose to walk away
