Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I've been waiting in this station,
[F#]for what[G] seems like a ye[D]ar
It's midday now,
but [F#]I don't trust th[G]e clocks they have in he[A]re
And [D]maybe 'round [F#]the corner
you'll be [G]stepping off that [A]bus
And [G]then I will [Bm]remember
what it [G]feels like to [D]be us

[Verse 2]
And [D]now the fog [F#]is creeping
'round [G]the factories and farms
[D]I hope to hell you[F#] make it to as
[G]sail me with your [A]charms
'Cause [D]all I want [F#]to do now babe,
is [G]hold you in my [A]arms

[Verse 3]
So [Bm]put your bags bes[G]ide me,
baby, [Bm]right here in the [G]road
[Em]Put 'em down,
and [A]lighten up the [D]load[G]
[Em]Put 'em down and l[A]ighten up the load
[D]

[Verse 4]
I wonder how [F#]you'll look at me,
[G]after all this [D]time
I wonder how much [F#]things have
[G]rearranged within my [A]mind
'Cause [D]I'll be so re[F#]lieved to see you
[G]stepping off that [A]bus
'Cause [G]then I will [Bm]remember
what it [G]feels like [D]to be us

[Verse 5]
[D]Will you stand here smil[F#]ing with
your [G]hands upon your [D]hips
Wearing the same lip[F#]stick I last
[G]tasted on your [A]lips?
'Cause [D]I just want you r[F#]ight now,
baby [G]at my finger[A]tips

[Verse 6]
So [Bm]put your bags bes[G]ide me,
baby, [Bm]right here in the [G]road
[Em]Put 'em down and
[A]lighten up the [D]load[G]
[Em]Put 'em down and l[A]ighten
up the load
[D]

[Verse 7]
[Bm]
If what you're [G]carrying is as
[F#]heavy as my [Bm]heart
You'll [F#m]need a weeks re
[G]covery here within my [A]arms
So [Bm]put your bags bes[G]ide me baby,
[Bm]right here in the [G]road
[Em]Put 'em down and l[A]ighten up the

[Interlude 1]
load
[D][A][D][Bm][A][Em][F#m]

[Verse 8]
[A]So as I'm wai[D]ting in this statio[F#]n,
feeling [G]famished and [D]afraid
The 8:15 from [F#]Lon don comes
[F#m]in eig[G]ht minutes del[A]ayed
And as I'm [D]searching for your [F#]features
I'm re[G]hearsing what I'll [A]say

[Verse 9]
[Bm]Put your bags be[G]side me, baby,
[Bm]right here in [G]the road
[Em]Put 'em down and l[A]ighten
up the [D]load[G]
[Em]Put 'em down and l[A]ighten
up [D]the [G]load
The [D]load, [G]the load
[D][G][Asus4][G]

[Verse 10]
[D]
Ooh, yeah
