[Chorus]
C# F#
Please save me now
C#
I'm never gonna leave this town
F#
I'll hang around
C#
'Til all the buildings crumble down
D#m
Stacking up my dreams inside
C#
I watch another train go by
F#
Can't find my ticket to ride
[Verse 1]
C#
He was a good guy, bad lie, king of con artists
F#
I think of those days with my heart in the harness
D#
And you can presume that he was groomed to bloom
F#
Assumed his doom and lacked in the cash to move
C#
He was my groupie, catty daddy, stranger danger savvy
F#
Killed my innocent first love when it ended badly
C#
Three years in the grand finale
F#
He called me drunk one night from his bachelor party
C#
Said, "I get married tomorrow. How are you doing?"
F#
Said, "I'm packing my baggage because my dreams are pursuing"
C#
He said, "I'm glad that you're happy. I'm starting a family
F# C#
But maybe someday we could hook up in Miami"
[Chorus]
C# F#
Please save me now
C#
I'm never gonna leave this town
F#
I'll hang around
C#
'Til all the buildings crumble down
D#m
Stacking up my dreams inside
C#
I watch another train go by
F#
Can't find my ticket to ride
[Verse 2]
C#
Sometimes the wrong feels right, and damn, the shit's vicious
F#
A minute there I thought love was fictitious
C#
Like he was the one, I thought my life was done
F#
I dropped the gun, broke out and began to run
C#
I had no friends to carry me, my family scaring me
F#
I felt the call of the city was daring me
C#
To let it all go and forget the face
F#
They probably tuned in from my rise to fame
C#
He could be polishing tractors, I'm x-ing my factors
F#
He could've come with if he had the adapters
C#
I wish that I could've saved him or made my amends
F#
But I don't really need it, don't read it if you know how it ends
[Chorus]
C# F#
Please save me now
C#
I'm never gonna leave this town
F#
I'll hang around
C#
'Til all the buildings crumble down
D#m
Stacking up my dreams inside
C#
I watch another train go by
F#
Can't find my ticket to ride
[Bridge]
C#
When the train come 'round don't skip the tracks
D#m
Don't let nobody hold you back
C# F#
Just ride, ride
C#
When the train come 'round don't skip the tracks
D#m
Don't let nobody hold you back
C# F#
Just ride, ride
[Chorus]
C# F#
Please save me now
C#
I'm never gonna leave this town
F#
I'll hang around
C#
'Til all the buildings crumble down
D#m
Stacking up my dreams inside
C#
I watch another train go by
F#
Can't find my ticket to ride
