Dm  Bb  F  C
Dm  Bb  F  C
 
 
Verse 1:
Bb              F
 It’s well past midnight,
        C             F
And I'm miles from my bed,
Bb          F
 Got the TV on,
         C             F
Watching others live instead.
         Bb        F
I've been  chasing happiness,
            C           F
If it would only stay a while,
       Bb                  F
Oh I'd trade away the next thousand years,
           C             F
To dance a minute with a smile.

Chorus:
         Dm        Bb
And this train I'm on,
       F                          C
Always searching for the promised land,
      Dm               Bb
Every day the sun goes down,
        F                    C     Dm  Bb  F  C
While today slips through my hands     
 
 
[Interlude]
Dm  Bb  F  C
 
 
Verse 2:
Bb          F
Memories in picture frames,
        C            F
All the people faded black,
    Bb                 F
The figures lost their meaning,
            C              F
Cause there ain’t no going back.
     Bb                F
I've wrapped myself in longing,
   C                 F
Baptized myself with fear,
    Bb                F
I'm running from just living,
         C                   F
And I've soaked myself in my tears.
 
 
Chorus:
         Dm        Bb
And this train I'm on,
       F                          C
Always searching for the promised land,
      Dm               Bb
Every day the sun goes down,
        F                    C     Dm  Bb  F  C
While today slips through my hands     
 
 
[Interlude]
Dm  Bb  F  C
 
 
Verse 3:
Bb             F
 We stopped at future,
      C               F
I had too much yet to do,
   Bb            F
We stopped at my past,
      C                  F
But I wouldn’t let go of you.
      Bb               F
Oooh, every stop worth leaving,
      C               F
Every stop I held the line,
  Bb                       F
I think I'm riding but I'm really just hiding,
       C              F
It's a way to pass my time.
 
 
Chorus:
         Dm        Bb
And this train I'm on,
       F                          C
Always searching for the promised land,
      Dm               Bb
Every day the sun goes down,
        F                    C
While today slips through my hands.
 
 
Outro:
Dm             Bb
This train I'm on,
       F                          C
Always searching for the promised land,
      Dm               Bb
Every day the sun goes down,
        F                    C     Dm  Bb  F  C
While today slips through my hands     ooh ooh,
                 Dm  Bb  F  C
Slips through my hands   ,
                 Dm  Bb  F  C
Slips through my hands   ,
                 Dm  Bb  F  C
Slips through my hands     
Dm
