E                 C#m 
I was dreaming last night  
A figment of my brain 
    ( A    B) 
On the downtown train And we had nowhere to go  
E             C#m 
So we got off to take a walk  
E           C#m 
In the pouring rain 
E 
You said you rode it once  
C#m                A 
And you would ride it again  
               B         
Please take me with you  
{Chorus} 
A        B            E 
Tom waits for the morning train  
         C#m 
To take us away 
A        B 
Me and mr. Tom Waits 
  E    C#m 
Can't wait no more

E             C#m 
I'm wrapped around your finger  
Two fingers on my lips  
No need to speak 
        A        B 
Cause it's all in our eyes  
E             C#m 
When they turned out the lights  
They gave us one for the road  
We headed for the tracks  
             A 
And never looked back 
B  
This could never be___  real  
{Chorus} 
A        B           E 
Tom waits for the morning train  
         C#m 
To take us away 
A      B 
Me and mr. Tom Waits  
         E        C#m 
Can't wait no more         Can't wait no more 
         E        C#m 
                On the downtown train 
         E        C#m                   E 
                Me and mister tom waits
