Fadd9                                     Em7 
Freight train crying in the middle of the night 
  Fadd9                                           Em7 
A whistle blows, I hear it though it's nowhere in sight 
 

 
     F            C 
It's always after midnight 
  Am7             Em7 
A lonely voice is heard 
Fadd9            C 
Echo through the backyards 
     Am7               Em7 
Disappearing without a word 
 

 
                    F      C 
I hear you sing for miles around 
          Am7                     Em7 
While the cool kids dream and the old folk sleep in 
F       C 
 Miles around 
        Am7                          Em7 
Are you sending me a message, if you are, I think I need it 
F       C     Am7    Em7 
 Miles around 
 

 
Fadd9                                              Em7 
Freight train, I've been waiting for a letter from you 
       Fadd9                              Em7 
I know patience, might be some kind of virtue 
        Fadd9                                            Em7 
But I'm sitting at the crossroad, holding my heart in my hand 
          Fadd9                                   Em7 
Oh lonely freight train, you're everywhere that I am 
 

 
     F            C 
It's always after midnight 
       Am7              Em7 
When I hear the whistle blow 
   Fadd9              C 
It echoes through the backyards 
         Am7                Em7 
Is there something I should know 
 

 
                    F      C 
I hear you sing for miles around 
          Am7                     Em7 
While the cool kids dream and the old folk sleep in 
F       C 
 Miles around 
        Am7                          Em7 
Are you sending me a message, if you are, I think I need it 
F       D 
 Miles around 
 

 
                           Dm 
When you think you're all alone 
                          D 
And only phantoms on your phone 
                                   Bb 
Close your eyes and listen for the sound 
                      F      C     Am7    Em7 
Of people singing for miles around 
F      C     Am7    Em7 
Miles around 
 

 
F      C 
Miles around 
          Am7                     Em7 
While the cool kids dream and the old folk sleep in 
F      C 
Miles around 
        Am7                          Em7 
Are you sending me a message, if you are, I think I need it 
F      F(b5)  D 
 Miles       around
