Intro 
N.C. 


 
       G 
Please check your pockets 
                    C            D 
For the pass you'll need, my dear 
  Em               Bm 
A ticket with your name, your seat 
    C                    D 
And where you'll go from here 
   G                                C        D 
If you have any questions then I'll be all ears 
      Em          Bm 
Can't promise any answers 
      C                 D 
But I hope to ease your fears 
 

 
        C 
Are you worried 'bout your family? 
        G 
Are you worried 'bout your friends? 
        D             B7                Em 
I could only say that I hope you'll all meet again 
     C 
It's hard to stay apart 
  G       D/F#        Em 
I know it breaks your heart 
    A                                  F  D 
The whistle blows, it's your time to depart 
 

 
             G 
And now I'll wave "so long" 
    C                  D 
The train will shortly move along 
    Em7             A7 
The last time we'll meet 
            C              D 
Through the window by your seat 
         G 
Hum your favorite song 
    C               D 
The one you'd sing along 
              Em7           A7 
As you walked down your own road 
         C              D               G  C 
With the hope to stay remembered as you go 
  D               Em7  A7  C 
Remembered as you go________

I'll stow your luggage there so it won't interfere 
      Em7                Bm 
Can't promise they'll be lighter 
         C                D 
When you make it out from here 
 

 
    C 
Any aspirations incomplete? 
    G 
Any unfulfilled desires?

Regretfully, those dreams 
               Em 
You'll have to leave behind

C 
I still don't understand 
    G 
Why creatures live and die 
     D                   B7 
They love and hate, they recreate 
    Em 
And some will toy with fate 
     C 
I've never once been forced to smile 
   G      D/F#    Em 
To cry or say goodbye 
        A                                 F 
I could only hope they found joy in their lives
