[Intro] (Clean fingerpicked guitar, soft room ambience) (Em — C — G — D) [Verse 1] (Relaxed groove, warm bass movement) (Em — C — G — D) There’s a man by the harbor café With a cigarette burning slow Watching ships roll out like memories To places he’ll never go And the waitress with the tired eyes Still hums those old radio songs Like somewhere inside the static She remembers where she belongs [Pre-Chorus] (Subtle organ swell, restrained drums) (C — G — D) Every streetlight tells a story Every shadow hides a name And every train leaving midnight Carries somebody’s pain [Chorus] (Smooth guitar lift, emotional restraint) (G — D — Em — C) Last train out of Marseille Rolling through the pouring rain Everybody running somewhere Trying to lose what still remains And the moon hangs over the station Like a light nobody knows While the city keeps on breathing Through the cracks in broken souls [Verse 2] (Clean bluesy guitar fills, spacious groove) (Em — C — G — D) There’s an old man counting poker chips In a smoke-filled riverside bar Says he once knew a woman Who could’ve been a movie star Now the jukebox plays forgotten tunes To ghosts in wrinkled suits And every glass upon the counter Still tastes a little like the truth [Bridge] (Stripped guitar and vocal section) (C — G — Em — D) Maybe freedom is a highway Maybe love’s a losing game Maybe everybody’s searching For somebody left unnamed [Final Chorus] (Full atmospheric groove, melodic guitar lead) (G — D — Em — C) Last train out of Marseille Still disappearing in the night And all these worn-out conversations Fade beneath the station light Still the river keeps on moving Like it’s got somewhere to go While the city drowns in silence Only lonely people know [Outro] (Long expressive guitar outro) (Em) The train rolls into darkness
