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

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
