Ru dy’s on a (Dm7)train to no where, half way down the line. ed u ca ted. Af ter He all don’t 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. ed u ca ted. Af ter He all don’t 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 but 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 but I just did n’t (Bbm7)dare.

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.
