1. How many times have you found though you were firm on the ground,

                   F

    still the world around you sways,

                      C

                   F

    and the way ahead's a maze.

                Em                       Dm

    You've used everything inside you,

2. When your good nights have been said and you are lying in bed

                   F

    with the covers pulled up tight,

                                 C

    and though you count every sheep, you get the feeling that sleep

                        F

    is going to stay away tonight.

        Em                             Dm

    That's when you hear it coming

    Em                                    Dm         G

    that's when you hear the humming of the

       C                     F       C

    midnight train, here again.

      F            C           Dm          C             Dm         F

    Can't explain that midnight train, that midnight train.

 

   C                Dm    G                                        F               C

3. Want you to take me away, but bring me back before daylight,

           F

    and in the time between

                       C

    take me to everywhere, but don't abandon me there,

             F

    just want to say I've been.

          Em                      Dm

    I believe in you completely,

                   Em                          Dm    G

    though I may be dreaming sweetly, I can

       C                     F       C

    hear the train, here again.

      F            C           Dm          C             F             G

    Can't explain that midnight train, that midnight train.
