Standard (EADGBE)

If I had a dime for every question

 I could buy myself a bank to keep the answers in

 When the house you rent was getting painted

 I thought this out and wrote it down and mailed it

When I think of it, it makes me crazy

 And if I hear from you

 You know it will amaze me

I'm gonna take a train across the river

 And when I see your face I've got a message to deliver

Without a thought you carry on

And I'll be the last thing on your mind before too long

You said you'd always love me as a friend

 But you left the water on instead

 You left it running in my head

I've been taaking this from you for much too long

 When my train gets in I'll call you on the telephone

But before I go can you just tell me

 Did the coffee tea and paperbacks mean anything?

Without a thought you carry on

And I'll be the last thing on your mind before too long

You said you'd always love me as a friend

 But you left the water on instead

 You left it running in my head

I went to the train to get my ticket

 And I laid myself out on the tracks derailed it
