Tom: D
D Bm
I came back to my hometown incognito
Em A
To forget about it all
D Bm
Suddenly, I heard "hey there papito-pito-pito
Em A
You don't ever give a call'
(Bm D Em A)
whapba bup bup ba (X 4)
Bm D
remember we used to skip school together
Em A
said to me drunk girl, police man
Bm D
Now, where have you been all my life
Em A
I've been skipping school since then, yeah
(chorus)
D Bm
I've been watching trains
Em A
swiftly rolling by
D Bm
I've been jumping them
Em A
without long goodbyes
D Bm
to uncover rules of life
Em A
and how to break them well
Bm D
and the key to my gypsy auto pilot
Em A
and my story to tell, hey!
(Bm D Em A)
whapba bup bup ba (X 4)
(Bm D Em A)
so we ran to outskirts of our town
to the working man dance hall
where all night we played piano-yano-yano
off the chairs about to fall
then we climbed the ladder to the attic
where once i showed her my first song
above the street where all them crazy dreamers
still talking nonsense all night long
Bm D
whoa-o whoa-o
Em A
nonsense all night long
Bm D
whoa-o whoa-o
Em A
still writing their first song
(chorus)
(bridge)
Bm D
and we laugh, and we cry
Em A
and we recited sacred text
Bm D
and we rose and we fell
Em A
and then we said, ok what's next?
D Bm
but, if you keep on watching trains
Em A
swiftly, rolling by
D Bm
one day you will be gone
Em A
without long goodbyes
D Bm
to uncover rules of life
Em A
and how to break them well
Bm D Em
and the key to your gonzo turbo gypsy auto pilot
A
and your story to tell
Bm
story to tell
