[Verse 1]
       Em                         Bm
It was 9-29, 9-29 back street big city
    Am                             Bm
The sun was going' down, there was music all around 
          |  Em  |  %  |
It felt so right  (lick)


[Verse 2]
       Em
It was one of those nights,  
                               Bm
One of those nights when you feel the world stop turnin', 
Am                                 Bm
You were standing there, there was music in the air
  Cmaj7                        D
I should have been away, but I knew I'd have to stay 


[Chorus]
G               Cmaj7   G              Cmaj7
  Last train to London,   just headin' out,
G               Cmaj7   Bm             Am      
  Last train to London,   just leavin' town


[Post-Chorus]
D     Gmaj7                  Cmaj7
But I really want tonight to last forever
  Gmaj7                Cmaj7
I really wanna be with you
Bm                    Am            |  Em  |  %  | 
Let the music play on down the line tonight (lick)


[Verse 1]
       Em
It was one of those nights, 
                               Bm
One of those nights when you feel the fire is burnin', 
     Am                           Bm
Everybody was there, everybody to share, 
          |  Em  |  %  | 
It was so right  (lick)


[Verse 2]
          Em
There you were on your own, 
                          Bm
Lookin' like you were the only one around,
  Am                          Bm
I had to be with you, nothin' else that I could do,
  Cmaj7                        D
I should have been away, but I knew I'd have to stay

[Verse 2]
     Em
Underneath a starry sky,
                              Bm
Time was still but hours must really have rushed by,
  Am                  Bm
I didn't realize, but love was in your eyes 
  Cmaj7                        D
I really should have gone, but love went on and on

  Last train to London,   just headin' out,

  Last train to London,   just leavin' town
