C#m                B
I'll take a second of the day

   G#m             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              G#m              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

  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
VERSE
C#m                B
The railway ticket states a destination

   G#m             A
But it doesn't mean

     E              A  E
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
CHORUS
    A                E
The future's looking wonderful

     A                    E
It's the wonder of a businessman's

A               C#m
conspiracy to sell your wares

  G#m
And no one cares

A         E
Oh you care, I know

A         E
Oh you care, I know

A         E
Oh you care, I know

         B
I forgot for a while
VERSE
C#m        B
On a sulky afternoon

G#m               A
spent in dispute, you'll give yourself

  E              A  E
a headache, boy

C#m        B
So I spend the day in stories

 A              G#m              F#
And in dreaming of the time when we're on stage
CHORUS
     A                E
Have you seen the loneliness

     A                    E
of a middle distance runner as he

A                                 C#m
stops the race and looks around? I like the stage, you've seen it now

A         E
I'll walk to the station

A         E
Walk to the station

A         E
Walk to the station

         B
Won't you follow me down?

A         E
Walk to the station

A         E
Walk to the station

A         E
Walk to the station

         B
Won't you follow me down?
