[Verse]
      G#m                                      D#m                       F#
Every night,  he comes home late, and if she's lucky he'll just pass her by.
      G#m                                   D#m                      F#
Every night,  she sits and waits, though he never thought to ask her why.


[Pre-Chorus]
       A#m
Broken table in the kitchen, neighbours wake and listen
       G#
He complains about the mess in the place.
       A#
In the morning she'll forgive him, think of any reason
   G#
to forget about the state of her face.


[Chorus]
            F#                     B
She's got a no return ticket on an overnight train
      C#
as it pulls away from Jericho Bay.
             F#                        B
She leaves a sleepy town station and a simple gold ring
     C#
as a souvenir of Jericho Bay.


[Verse]
     G#m                                   D#m                      F#
Everyday,  she counted the hours   and the weeks she counted on the wall
     G#m                             D#m                     F#
Everyday, just a little older.  Everyday just like the one before.


[Pre-Chorus]
    A#m
She never told her mother, never told her father
G#
never wasted one single tear.
    A#m
Her secret safely hidden, no word of explanation,
    G#
she packs her bag and closes the door.


[Chorus]
            F#                     B
She's got a no return ticket on an overnight train
      C#
as it pulls away from Jericho Bay.
            F#                       B
She's got a secondhand suitcase, her Sunday dress on
      C#
and a photograph of Jericho Bay.
             F#                        B
She leaves a sleepy town station and a simple gold ring
     C#
as a souvenir of Jericho Bay.
            F#                          B
And she can hear the rails singing, way up to the moon
        C#
hanging yellow over Jericho bay.


[Bridge]
A                            E
    and she'll never be back again.
A                            E
    and she'll never be back again.


[Chorus]
            F#                     B
She's got a no return ticket on an overnight train
      C#
as it pulls away from Jericho Bay.
            F#                       B
She's got a secondhand suitcase, her Sunday dress on
      C#
and a photograph of Jericho Bay.
             F#                        B
She leaves a sleepy town station and a simple gold ring
     C#
as a souvenir of Jericho Bay.
            F#                          B
And she can hear the rails singing, way up to the moon
        C#
hanging yellow over Jericho bay.   Jericho...


[Outro]
F#       B      C#
bay.               Jericho bay.   Never be back...
 F#                   B                    C#
again. Never be back again. Never be back again. Never be back again.  She leaves a
F#                        B                  C#
sleepy town station and a simple gold ring.
