Verse 1
Am 
You're the one
G 
who's nearly breaking my heart
Em 
Had your chance,
Am 
G 
you just threw it all away
Am 
Living in a world
G 
that you could never be a part of
Em 
Am 
And never time to walk away

Chorus 1

You can't stay, no, you can't stay

You're no loser,

there's still time to ride that train

And you must be on your way tonight

Think anew right through

you're a man in the rain
