     C#5           B5             G#5              A5                   E5             E5 E5
I'll take a second of the day to think about the things that we have done this year
    C#5                B5 
The dog lies down, the pouring rain
     A5              G#5             F#5
I'm underneath the smoker's railway arch again
     A5               E5
The future's looking colourful
         A5                 E5        
It's the colour of blood, chaos and 
    A5           C#5
corruption of a happy soul
  G#5
A happy soul will
A5           E5
Ride in the field
A5           E5
Ride in the field
A5           E5
Ride in the field
          B5
Till the rain dies down


    C#5             B5            G#5
The railway ticket states a destination
         A5               E5
But it doesn't mean that we will show
C#5             B5
There's a fork upon the line
    A5                G#5                  F#5
We paid the guard to switch the sign, and off we go
     A5                E5
The future's looking wonderful
         A5           E5                 A5          C#5
It's the wonder of a businessman's conspiracy to sell your wares
    G#5
And no one cares
    A5        E5
Oh you care I know
A5         E5
you care I know
A5         E5
you care I know
      B5
I forgot for a while

A5 E5 A5 E5 A5 C#5 G#5 A5 

C#5        B5                G#5
On a sulky afternoon spent in dispute
       A5             E5
You'll give yourself a headache, boy
C#5         B5                     A5              G#5
So I take revenge in stories and dreaming of the time when
      F#5
We're on stage
A5                  E5               A5                E5
"Have you seen The Loneliness Of A Middle Distance Runner?"
         A5                 
When he stops the race and looks around
  C#5
I left the stage
        G#5
"You've seen it now"
   A5           E5
I walked to the station
A5            E5
walked to the station
A5            E5
walked to the station
           B5
won?t you follow me down


A5            E5
walked to the station
A5            E5
walked to the station
A5            E5
walked to the station 
          B5
won?t you follow me down
