Ru dy’s on a (Dm7)train to no where,

half way down the line.

u ca ted.

Af ter all the (Dm7)wan na get there, (Fm7)but he needs time.

Ru He ain’t so (Dm7)phis ti ca ted

half or well the line.

u ca ted.

Af ter all the (Dm7)hours he’s wast ed, (Fm7)still he needs time.

He needs (Am)time,

he needs a time for liv ing.

He needs (Dm)time

for some (Am)one just to see

him.

He ain’t had no (C)lov ing

for no rea son or rhyme,

and the whole world’s a (C)bove him.

Well, it’s not as though he’s (Dm)fat,

no, there’s more to it than (Ebmaj7)that.

See, he tried to play it (Dm)cool,

would n’t be no bod y’s (Ebmaj7)fool.

Ru dy thought

that all good things

come to those

that (Bb)wait.

But re cent ly

he could (Gm)see

that it may (F)come,

but too late,

too late, too late.

All (Bbm7)through your life,

with out all

through the years,

no bod y (Ab)loved,

no I just bod y (Bbm7)cared.

So dim the light,

are you dark are your fears.

Try as I (Ab)might,

I can’t hold back the (Bbm7)tears.

How (Bbm7)can you live

with out love,

it’s not fair.

Some one said, (Ab)“give,”

no I just did n’t (Bbm7)dare.

What good ad vice

are you wait ing to hear?

Hear ing’s all (Ab)right

I for them that’s all (Bbm7)there.

How

Hear ing’s all (Ab)right,

you’d bet ter,

you’d bet ter (Eb)gain con trol now,

you’d bet ter (Eb)show them all now.

You’d bet ter (Eb)make or break now,

you’d bet ter (Eb)give and take now.

You’ll have to (E)push and shove now,

you’ll have to (E)find some love now.

You’d bet ter (E)gain con trol now.

Now he’s just come (Dm7)out the mov ie,

numb of all the (C)pain.

Sad, but in a (Am7)while he’ll soon be

back on his train.
