Intro: Am C C7 Am C C7 Verse 1: Am F I choose me, and I know that's selfish, love C You are a dream, and I can't thank you enough G But I give another piece of me away Em Every waking day that I'm with you Am F Am I a monster? What will your family think of me? C They brought me in, they helped me out with everything G But I give a little piece of me away Em Every single day Chorus: F C G So I pick up the pieces, I get on the midnight train F C Am I got my reasons, but darling I can't explain F I'll always love you C G But tonight's the night I choose to walk away F C Bah-bah, doo, bah-bah, doo G Am Bah-bah, doo, bah-bah, doo Interlude: Am C C7 Verse 2: Am F Love you so much that I have to let you go C I'll miss your touch and the secrets we both know G But it would be wrong for me to stay Am And I'll just give you hope Chorus: F C G So I pick up the pieces, I get on the midnight train F C Am I got my reasons, but darling I can't explain F I'll always love you C G But tonight's the night I choose to walk away F Am I can't stop crying, I hate that I've caused you pain C G But I can't deny it, I just don't feel the same F I'll always love you C G But tonight's the night I choose to walk away F C Bah-bah, doo, bah-bah, doo G Am Bah-bah, doo, bah-bah, doo F C G So I pick up the pieces, I get on the midnight train F C Am I got my reasons, but darling I can't explain F I'll always love you C G But tonight's the night I choose to walk away This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.
