Well [C]once I [G]knew a [F]railway [C]girl
Her [C]age was[G] seven[C]teen[C]
I [C]gave her [G]all I [F]had to [C]give
But the [C]baggage [G]of my [F]dreams[F]
[C]Stole me [G]from the [F]games we [C]played
[C]Scorned me [G]for my [F]mast[F]
And [C]if she's [G]gone she [F]lingers [C]on
I [C]beg you [G]please don't [C]ask[C]
T'was [C]on her [G]dark Mar[F]ch eve[C]ning
[C]Southbound [G]I did [C]ride[C]
My [C]head was [G]out the [F]window
[C]When I [C]found her [G]at my [F]side[F]
[C]Asked where [G]I was [F]going t[C]o
I [C]told but [G]where I [F]came[F]
For the [C]jails in [G]which I've [F]done my [C]time
I [C]fail ha[G]rd to re[C]gain[C]
Dark [C]girl, dark [G]girl it [F]kills me [C]so
To [C]watch you [G]so af[C]raid[C]
You [C]know that [G]you've been [F]real to [C]those
When [C]realness [G]should be [F]feigned[F]
Her [C]eyes gone [G]wide, "A[F]live," she [C]cried
Does [C]pleasure [G]ever [F]last?[F]
We [C]live to [G]see, but [F]patient[C]ly
I [C]beg you [G]please don't [C]ask[C]
She [D]took me [A]in desp[G]ite my [D]sins
[D]Fed me [A]tea and [D]such[D]
And [D]as she [A]fell just [G]like a [D]child
I [D]crumbled '[A]neath her [G]touch[G]
I [D]held my [A]breath in [G]fear to [D]weep
For the [D]fragments [A]of my [G]brain[G]
See [D]each day's [A]but a [G]moment [D]that
I [D]fail ha[A]rd to re[D]gain[D]
But [D]as it [A]goes the [G]people it [D]throws
Our [D]values [A]to the [D]street[D]
[D]Whole world [A]came and [G]saint's [D]gaze
Im[D]patience [A]in his [G]feet[G]
And [D]captives [A]of this [G]paltry [D]trade
We [D]curse our[A] mortal [G]past[G]
For[D]give us [A]though we [G]all must [D]go
And [D]where to [A]please don't [D]ask[D]

And [C]now I [G]am a [F]misspent [C]man
Who [C]knows not[G] where he's [C]been[C]
And [C]though so [G]sapped with [F]suffering[C]
The [C]worst is [G]yet un[F]seen[F]
Re[C]nounce my[G]self for [F]further wealt[C]h
I [C]take each [G]breath in [F]vain[F]
Still [C]haunted [G]by that [F]railway [C]girl
