I step off the train               [Verse #1]

I'm walking down your street again

And past your door                    [Intro]

(But) you don't live there anymore      Cm Cm

It's years since you've been there      Bb  Bb

And now you've disappeared somewhere

Like outer space

You've found some better place


(And I miss you ())               [Hook] (x2)

Like the deserts miss (the rain)    Cm G# Bb Fm


Could you be dead                 ╔═════════╗

You always were two steps ahead   ║ Missing ║

Of everyone                       ╚═════════╝

We'd walk behind while you'd run

I look up at your house

And I can almost hear you shout        [Hook]

Down to me - Where I always used to be   (x2)

                             ╔══════════════╗

Back on the train            ║  Everything  ║

I ask why did I come again   ║ but the Girl ║

Can I confess                ╚══════════════╝

I've been hanging 'round your old address

And the years have proved

To offer nothing since you moved

You're long gone - But I can't move on

                                       [Hook]

[Verse #1] (I guess)                     (x2)

[Hook] [Hook] (yeah) (how I miss you)

[Hook] [Hook] (yeah) (…)

[Hook] (x2) (Deserts miss the rain) (…)
