[Intro 1]
[Am][Em][Am][Dm][Am]
[G][Asus4][Am][Dm][Am]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Well, I'm up there besides [D]the magic man
And he laid some tricks on me
He said, "You do need help, my friend"
I whispered,
[C]"Ob[G]vio[C]usly"[G][C][G][C][D]
He laid [C]a spread of [D]Jacks and Queens
And he begged me take my pick
But every face it had your face
I cried [C]out, [G]"I [C]am sic[G]k"[C][G]
[C]

[Verse 2]
[G]
Sick of hauling your [Em]love around
Want to [D]run the train [C]alone[D][G]
But the engine tracks [Em]straight
through your heart
And [D]weighs me like a stone
[C]

[Interlude 1]
[D][Em][Am]

[Verse 3]
Oh, it's [Am]a
hard load to love you
It takes [Asus4]up all my[G] time,[Am]
having [Dm]you
So famili[Am]ar
Like past lives and
[Asus4]Nursery r[Am]hymes

[Interlude 2]
[Am][Dm][Am][D]

[Verse 4]
So I gave away [D]the pictures
And your golden ring
And the phone call[C]s you sent[D] me
And the sil[C]ver birds [G]that [C]sing[D]
Then the man he told me something
That really [C]brought [D]me down
Your things were thrown away, it's true
But [C]you [G]wer[C]e still in tow[G]n
[C][G][C]

[Verse 5]
[G]
Sick of hauling your [Em]love around
Wanna [D]run the train [C]alone[D][G]
But the engine tracks [Em]straight
through your heart
And [D]weighs me like a [C]stone

[Interlude 3]
[C][D][Am]

[Verse 6]
Oh, it's [Am]a hard load to love you
It takes [Asus4]up all my[G] time,[Asus4]
[Am]having you[Dm]
So famili[Am]ar
Like past lives and

[Interlude 4]
Nursery rhymes
[Am][Asus4][Am][Dm][Am]
[D]
The magician [C]let a mes

[Verse 7]
[D]sage
It flashes [C]when [D]I hide
Accept [C]the chains of [D]loving
Accept the rails re[C]move
yourself [G]from [C]her side[G]
[C]Do without her [G]love[C][D]
As I lay back in the speeding train
I keep it by my side
I could mail a letter to you but I still
[C]hav[G]e m[C]y pride[G]
[C][G][C]

[Verse 8]
[G]
Sick of hauling your [Em]love around
Wanna [D]run the train [C]alone[D][G]
But the engine tracks [Em]straight
through your heart
And [D]weighs me like [C]a stone[D][G]
Three times I've sent
you [Em]back from me
Three [D]times my boats gone [C]dry[D]
[G]And three times I've seen
[Em]the shooting shark
[D]Lighting up the sky

[Interlude 5]
[C][D][Em][Am]

[Verse 9]
Oh, it's [Am]a hard load to love you, babe
It takes [Asus4]my breath away[Em]
[Asus4]The fourt[Am]h tim[Dm]e 'round
Is the last [Am]time [Asus4]'round[Am]

[Outro 1]
There's nothing else [Am]to say
[Am][Am][Dm][Am]
[Am]
[Am]
