[Verse 1]
B E F#
Some roads are only seen at night
B E F#
Ghost roads -- nothing but neon signs.
B E F#
But some nights the neon gas gets free
B E F#
and turns into walking dead like me
[Chorus]
E F# B E
And I've been making promises I know I'll never keep
E F# B E
One of these days I'm gonna leave you in your sleep
E F# B E
I'll have to go when the whistle blows, the whistle knows my name
E F# B
Baby, I was born on a train.
[Verse 2]
B E F#
Well I know that you were never young
B E F#
And I know you probably won't get old
B E F#
But honey nobody's gonna hurt you anymore
B E F#
And nobody's going to make you want to die
[Chorus]
E F# B E
And I've been making promises I know I'll never keep
E F# B E
One of these days I'm gonna leave you in your sleep
E F# B E
I'll have to go when the whistle blows, the whistle knows my name
E F# B
Baby, I was born on a train.
[Verse 3]
B E F#
I'll go some cold and grey morning,
B E F#
and you won't remember anything
B E F#
But some people don't believe in dying,
B E F#
and some of us don't believe in life
[Chorus]
E F# B E
And I've been making promises I know I'll never keep
E F# B E
One of these days I'm gonna leave you in your sleep
E F# B E
I'll have to go when the whistle blows, the whistle knows my name
E F# B
Baby, I was born on a train.
E F# B
