Standard (EADGBE)

 Sometimes you see someone

 When you've already got someone

 Still you wonder what if they had come

 Along, a long time ago

 You know that they're feeling it too

 But there ain't nothin' you gonna do

 Except for ima- -gine who you might have been with them

  They're not tryin' to make it last

  Just enjoying each second as they pass

Chorus

 'Cause as these little brick houses are flying by

 'Neath the flickering of the railcar lights

 I let myself get lost in your eyes awhile

 Not a- -nother passenger in here can see

 How in my mind you're holdin' me

 While out- -side the cold makes snow out of the rain

 But in here were just strangers on a train (---)

  Start to smile, I turn my head

  It's kinda like a spider's web

  I just can't seem to shake you off

  So I look your way again

  You're staring off trying to pretend

  Like you haven't even noticed me at all

  But don't feel guilty it don't mean much

  The truth is the two of us ain't ever gonna touch

Chorus

  Brakes grind, I gotta go

  Reach down pick up my coat

  Afraid that you might stop me in the aisle

  Watch my breath rising in the air

  I can't do nothing but just stand there

  As you press your hand against the window pane

 And I wave to my stranger on a train (-)

My stranger on a train
