[Verse]
C F C
Standin' in the station, I got no destination, I'm wavin' my heart goodbye
F C
I'm walkin' in the crowd and I'm talkin' out loud, I'm tellin' myself don't cry
G F C
And Lord, I'd rather not forget what I forgot, but I guess I'm gonna have to try
C F C
Standin' in the station I got no reservation, I'm wavin' my heart goodbye
F C
I know it's not to blame but it's leavin' just the same and nobody ever asked it why
G F C
Standin' in the rain, wonderin' if the train will stop before the tears will dry
C F C
Standin' in the station, it's a sad situation, I'm wavin' my heart goodbye
F C
It's movin' down the track and it ain't lookin' back and I'm feelin' like I could die
G F C
A train is made to roam like a heart without a home and I'm thinkin' maybe so was I

[Bridge]
F C
I wonder will tomorrow come to hide the sorrow, will the sun forsake the sky?
F C
And Lord, I'd rather not forget what I forgot but I guess I'm gonna have to try
G F C
Standin' in the station, I got no destination, I'm wavin' my heart good- bye
G F C
Standin' in the station, I'm wavin' my heart good- bye
