I was a brakeman, the sharpest of all them
A# D#m
Hoping to be there and it good

I was a bum rush, and pardon the self lust

It wasn’t always understood

Hoping our timing won’t be swift enough
B D#m
And they’ll carry us away. And they’ll carry us away
D#m B
I was a cold one, colder than ever,
A# D#m
Did you feel the chill I left on you

Now back on the brake lines and steeper than I climb

Take this wig up off my head it did what it had to do
C# B F# D#m
It runs back, straight and true and leaving no more
