        D                    -                -   -
I don't want to be first in line to see Mrs. Train

    D                     -             A   -
I expect that it doesn't matter to Mrs. Train

      A                    -               -                      D
Being comfortable with yourself and being patient and taking your time

          D              G    /    A    D   -
Are the things that Mrs. Train can understand



D                 -
I've never seen a train like this before

-                           -
But then again there's never been

  G                -                D   -
A train like this before, like Mrs. Train

    A                       G
And someone's got to be the one to declare

          F#m                G      /    A    D  -
That they want to be next in line to see Mrs. Train


            D                    -               -     -
But I don't want to be first in line to see Mrs. Train

    D                     -             A   -
I expect that it doesn't matter to Mrs. Train

      A                       -                 -              D
Being patient and taking your time are things a train can understand

            D            G     /      A   D   -
And I'll be happy when I finally take her hand



D                    -
There's never been a train like this before

-                           -
Someone's got to be the one

       G                  -                    D     -
At the head of the line, the first to see Mrs. Train

    A              G                F#m
But I'm not in any rush to head the line

           G    /     A       D  -
And so the line has a missing head


            D                   -               -       -
And I don't want to be first in line to see the missing head

    D                    -                     A      -
I expect that it doesn't matter to the missing head

      A                       -                      -             D
Being patient and taking your time are things that a head can understand

            D            G   /   A        D   -
And I'll be happy when I finally take its hand
