[verse]
Amaj7 B7 E C#m Amj7 B7 E
A pirate’s chest with a broken latch never left his side
Amaj7 B7 E C#m Amj7 B7 E
When I sat down on the moving bench I realized that he lied
Amaj7 B7 E C#m Amj7 B7 E
The glass felt cold on my forehead as I watched the buildings glide by
Amaj7 B7 E C#m Amj7 B7 E
And I knew when I got back to the station, that I would find him there inside.
[instrumental chorus]

[verse]
Amaj7 B7 E C#m Amj7 B7 E
He dragged his tragic past like a ten ton anchor below where no one could see
Amaj7 B7 E C#m
And every night he’d take out her picture thank her and remind her
Amj7 B7 W
There’s no where he’d rather be.
[chorus]
E B/A A B/A E
Well, I don’t know what I’d do without you.
Fdim F#m B7
I guess I’d be okay.
E B/A A B/A E
Well, I don’t know what I’d do without you.
Fdim F#m B7 E
I guess I’d be okay.
[bridge]
G#m A C#m F#m
In the air, on the rails, and on the road we’re traveling
E A B7
From one place to somewhere just the same
G#m A C#m F#m
And I swear, I’m afraid in these towns we go to
E A B7 E
That no one will remember my name
G#m A C#m F#m
But he’s got this way with the people he meets
E A B7
Somehow he makes them his own
G#m A C#m F#m
Now I know that the power that motivates him
E A B7 E
Is that there’s nowhere else for him to call home
[chorus]
E B/A A B/A E
Well, I don’t know what I’d do without you.
Fdim F#m B7
I guess I’d be okay.
E B/A A B/A E
Well, I don’t know what I’d do without you.
Fdim F#m B7 E
I guess I’d be okay.
