C
Sometimes you see someone
G/B
When you've already got someone
Am
Still you wonder what if they had come
F
Along, a long time ago
C
You know that they're feeling it too
G/B
But there ain't nothin' you gonna do
Am F
Except for ima- -gine who you might have been with them
Am G/B F
They're not tryin' to make it last
Am G/B F
Just enjoying each second as they pass
[Chorus]
C
'Cause as these little brick houses are flying by
G
'Neath the flickering of the railcar lights
Am F
I let myself get lost in your eyes awhile
C
Not a- -nother passenger in here can see
G
How in my mind you're holdin' me
Am F
While out- -side the cold makes snow out of the rain
Am G/B
But in here were just strangers on a train (C-G-Am-F)
[Verse]
C
Start to smile, I turn my head
G/B
It's kinda like a spider's web
Am F
I just can't seem to shake you off
C
So I look your way again
G/B
You're staring off trying to pretend
Am F
Like you haven't even noticed me at all
Am G/B F
But don't feel guilty it don't mean much
Am G/B F G
The truth is the two of us ain't ever gonna touch
[Chorus]
C
Brakes grind, I gotta go
G/B
Reach down pick up my coat
Am F
Afraid that you might stop me in the aisle
C
Watch my breath rising in the air
G/B
I can't do nothing but just stand there
Am F
As you press your hand against the window pane
Am G/B
And I wave to my stranger on a train
C F
My stranger on a train
