Smiling At Strangers On Trains  Frank Turner



[F]G     [133211]320003
Am x02210
C x32010
G7 320001
G? 320000


it was the [F]stran[G]gest [Am]thing [C]to[G]day
G7 G? F G
i saw new footprints in abandoned pathways
Am C G G7 G?
beneath forgotten undergrowth something stirring again
you were a [F]sin[G]gle [Am]red [C]blood [G]cell
G7 G? F G Am
but i lost you in this knot of capillaries
C G G7 G?
but you were bringing me oxygen when i needed it most in the

[Dm]smoke.

and you were always


[Dm]as far as mongolia, as close as my clothes
[Am]your presence pervading, but it still never shows
[C]as close as the answer i never quite [F]know, or can’t quite remember
[Dm]your distance insidious, as soft as a blow
[Am]your shadow is with me wherever i go
[C]it’s on the tip of my tongue but still i never quite [F]know, or can’t quite remember
i don’t quite remember

--------------------------------



Verse two is the same as verse one.


--------------------------------



the forced proximity of a million different mike leigh movies
makes me long for the fresh air of a familiar face
and not the violence of loneliness, nor the unease of surrounded seclusion
i keep nearly missing you around corners and in passing trains


--------------------------------


The chorus is the same, cept the end, where it goes:

--------------------------------



[Dm]your distance insidious, as soft as a blow
[Am]your shadow is with me wherever i go
[C]it’s on the tip of my tongue, it's on the tip of my-
-------------------------------


which takes us to the outro!

-------------------------------


[F]   [G]   [Dm]                               

[F]if i’d known
if i’d known
if i’d known
if i’d [G]known
if i’d known
if i’d [Dm]known
if i’d known

x something.


[F]    that you weren’t so far away
[G]    that you [Dm]weren’t so far away
[F]    that you weren’t so far away
[G]    that you were n[Dm]ever that far away
x something


i could’ve [F]roooooooooooo[G]ooooooo[Dm]ode
[F]thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii[G]iiiiiiiii[Dm]iiis
[F]traaaaaa[G]aaaaaaa[Dm]aaaa[F]aaaaaaaa[G]aaaaaaaa[Dm]in [F]smiling.

It's really hard to place the chords because some words are sung quickly
and some very slowly but you get the idea, hopefully :)
