[Intro 1]
[Bm][A][F#m][G][D][G][D]
[Bm][A][G]
[F#m][E]

[Verse 1]
[Bm]Take a second [A]of the day
To [F#m]think about [G]the things that
we have [D]done this year
The [Bm]dog lies down the pour[A]ing rain
I'm [G]un derneath [F#m]the smoker's
railway [E]arch again
The fu[G]ture's looking

[Verse 2]
[D]colorful
It's the [G]color of blood,
[D]chaos and cor[G]ruption of [Bm]a happy soul
A [F#m]happy soul will [G]ride in [D]the field
[G]Ride in [D]the field
[G]Ride in the [D]field
Until the [A]rain dies down

[Verse 3]
The [Bm]railway ticket [A]states the destina[F#m]tion
But it does[G]n't mean that
[D]we will show
[Bm]There's a fork upon [A]the line
[G]We'll pay the guard [F#m]to switch the signs
[E]Off we go

[Verse 4]
The [G]fu ture's looking won[D]derful
[G]It's the wonder of the busines[D]sman's
[G]conspiracy to sell [Bm]you wares
[F#m]No one cares
Oh, [G]you care, [D]I k[G]now
You care, [D]I know
[G]You care, [D]I know
I [A]forgot [Bm]for[A][F#m]
[G][D][G][D][Bm][A][G]
[F#m]a whil[E]e

[Interlude 1]
[E][G][D][G][D][G][Bm][F#m]
[G]

[Verse 5]
[Bm]On a sulky a[A]fternoon spent
[F#m]in dispute
[G]You'll give yourself a [D]headache,
[G]boy[D]
[Bm]So I spend the day i[A]n stories
[G]And in dreaming of [F#m]the time
when [E]we're on stage

[Verse 6]
[G]Have you seen [D]the loneliness of
a [G]middle distance run[D]ner
As [G]he stops the race and [D]looks around?
I [Bm]like the stage you've [F#m]seen it now

[Verse 7]
I'll [G]walk to the [D]station
[G]Walk to the [D]station
[G]Walk to the [D]station
Won't you [A]follow me down?

[Verse 8]
[G]Walk to the [D]station
[G]Walk to the [D]station
[G]Walk to the [D]station
Won't you [A]follow me down?
