        Rudy's on a train to nowhere,

        He ain't sophisticated,

        nor well-educated.

        Still he needs time...

        He needs a time for livin'

                        Dm

        And the whole world's above him

Gm                                   Dm
        Well it's not as though he's fat

                                    Gm
        No, there's more to it than that

                                Dm

        Rudy thought,

        That all good things,

Cm               F          Bb          Bb7 - Bb6
        Comes to those that wait

Eb/C              F7
        But recently,

Dm               Gm
        He could see

Cm                  F             Bb
        That it may come, but too late.. too late... too late

Bbm
        All through your life, all through the years

            Ab            Bbm
        Nobody loves, nobody cares
So dim the light, dark are your fears
               Ab                             Bbm
        Try as I might, I can't hold back the tears
How can you live, without love, it's not fair
                Ab                           Bbm
        Someone said give, but I just didn't dare, I didn't dare, I didn't dare
What good advice are you waiting to hear?
                  Ab               Bbm
        Hearing's alright for them that's all there

                  Ab
        Hearing's alright...
You'd better
Bbm                         Cm/Bb
        You'd better get control of

Bbm                           Cm/Bb
        You'd better show 'em all now

Bbm                          Cm/Bb
        You'd better make or break now

Bbm                           Cm/Bb
        You'd better give and take now

Bm                              C#m/B
        You'll have to push and show them
