     C#m           B             G#m              A                   E             E4 E
I'll take a second of the day to think about the things that we have done this year
    C#m                B 
The dog lies down, the pouring rain
     A              G#m             F#
I'm underneath the smoker's railway arch again
     A               E
The future's looking colourful
         A                 E        
It's the colour of blood, chaos and 
    A           C#m
corruption of a happy soul
  G#m
A happy soul will
A           E
Ride in the field
A           E
Ride in the field
A           E
Ride in the field
          B
Till the rain dies down


    C#m             B            G#m
The railway ticket states a destination
         A               E
But it doesn't mean that we will show
C#m             B
There's a fork upon the line
    A                G#m                  F#
We paid the guard to switch the sign, and off we go
     A                E
The future's looking wonderful
         A           E                 A          C#m
It's the wonder of a businessman's conspiracy to sell your wares
    G#m
And no one cares
    A        E
Oh you care I know
A         E
you care I know
A         E
you care I know
      B
I forgot for a while

C#m        B                G#m
On a sulky afternoon spent in dispute
       A             E
You'll give yourself a headache, boy
C#m         B                     A              G#m
So I take revenge in stories and dreaming of the time when
      F#
We're on stage
A                  E               A                E
"Have you seen The Loneliness Of A Middle Distance Runner?"
         A                 
When he stops the race and looks around
  C#m
I left the stage
        G#m
"You've seen it now"
   A           E
I walked to the station
A            E
walked to the station
A            E
walked to the station
           B
won?t you follow me down


A            E
walked to the station
A            E
walked to the station
A            E
walked to the station 
          B
won?t you follow me down
