E    G#m     A G#m
Our time as we go
A  G#m      C#m          E
We know our times will change
I talk to Jesus
Jesus says I'm okay

Pushing and jumping
Jumping the mountain range
Burning up railroad
Railroad from Hell to Maine

Chorus:
E                              B A B A
While she says she’s on her own
E                         B A B A
I’ll be pacin on the phone
E                             B A B A
Sneakin on the train come back
E
Awful sick and tired of the gang

She comes from nothing
Hoping for a taste of fame
She's got a birthmark
A birthmark the shape of Maine

Chorus

And it's cold and it's cold
and it's cold when you're near
Cold when you're near any bottle
Cold and it's cold and it's cold when you're near
Cold when you're near any bottle

Our time as we go
We know our times will change
I talk to Jesus, Jesus, every day
(Our time as we go)
