[Intro] G  D  Am  C

G                D                  Am     C
Long handwritten note,/ deep in your pocket
G                      D                               Am    C
Words, how little they mean, / when you're a little too late
G                    D                      Am     C
I stood right by the tracks,/ your face in a locket
G                           D                  Am    C
Good girls, hopeful they'll be / and long they will wait

   G      D                Am          C
We had, a beautiful, magic love there /
       G    D                 Am     C
What a sad, beautiful, tragic love affair

( G  D  Am  C )

   G         D                      Am     C
In dreams,/ I meet you in warm conversation
        G              D                   Am     C
We both wake,in lonely beds, in different cities
    G       D                      Am          C
And time / is taking it's sweet time erasing you
    G                          D                         Am   C
And you've got your demons / and, darlin' they all look like me

         G      D                Am          C
'Cause we had, a beautiful, magic love there /
       G    D                 Am     C
What a sad, beautiful, tragic love affair

( G  D  Am  C )

Am                 C
Distance, timing, / breakdown, fighting
G                        D
Silence, the train runs off its tracks
Am                            C
Kiss me, try to fix it, / could you just try to listen?
G                 D                Am   G       C
Hang up, give up, / and for the life of us we can't get back
