VERSE
C#m                B          
I'll take a second of the day
   Abm             A   
to think about the things that we
     E              A*  E            
have done this year
    C#m               B
The dog lies down, the pouring rain
    A              Abm              F#
I'm underneath the smoker's railway arch again


CHORUS
    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
  Abm
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


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