[Verse 1]
G                             Cadd9         G
Living in the city feels like crying in the rain
                              Cadd9               G
Until you learn how to scream everybody looks the same
                           Cadd9                G
I'm gonna empty my pockets for a mountain bound train
                        Cadd9          G
Write a song and meet a girl along the way
 
 
[Chorus]
     Cadd9
Come on, fast train speed it up
                                     G    Cadd9 G
I want to get out to where I haven't been
    Cadd9
Oh, poor boy, don't you know it's the slow road
                       G    Cadd9 G
That's gonna catch the wind
 
 
[Verse 2]
G                                  Cadd9    G
She left me standing there with my eyes on fire
                        Cadd9         G
I found the wind when I fell upon her lips
                 Cadd9         G
She ran hard and fast into the night
                        Cadd9           G
Saying shame on you for being afraid of this
 
 
[Chorus]
         Cadd9
Come on, fast train speed it up
                                  G      Cadd9 G
I want to find out where my heart landed
    Cadd9
Oh, poor boy, don’t you know
Cadd9
Oh, poor boy, don’t you know
Cadd9
Oh, poor boy, don’t you know
Cadd9
It’s buried inside of you
                G       Cadd9 G
Right where you left it
 
 
[Verse 3]
G                             Cadd9              G
I’ve seen angry people hiding their faces in the dark
                                  Cadd9              G
Spitting words like stones they’d built around their hearts
                                 Cadd9              G
And there were children with the broken eyes of old men
                                  Cadd9       G
Because their child eyes had been stolen from them
 
 
[Chorus]
            Cadd9
So come on, fast train speed it up
                           G     Cadd9 G
I want to find out if God exists
    Cadd9
Oh, poor boy, don’t you know it’s the hands of man
                 G    Cadd9 G
That have ruined this
 
 
[Verse 4]
G                                         Cadd9            G
And the world’s as small as a stone I can hide it under my hands
                                   Cadd9        G
But it’s too heavy to hold for all I don’t understand
                          Cadd9             G
And it’s as empty as this heart I’ve yet to know
                                                Cadd9        G
But it’s what I don’t have that keeps me coming round for more
 
 
[Chorus]
            Cadd9
So come on, fast train speed it up
                                        G     Cadd9 G
I want to get out to where the grass is green
    Cadd9
Oh, poor boy, don’t you know
Cadd9
Oh, poor boy, don’t you know
Cadd9
Oh, poor boy, don’t you know
                            G     Cadd9 G
It’s only as green as you believe
