(piano intro)

A minorAm         DmDm
    Rudy's on a train to nowhere,
Ddim7Ddim7      C majorC        G+G
    Halfway down the line.
A minorAm        DmDm
    He don't wanna get there,
    F minorFm
    But he needs time.

Cm6Cm6 - D7sus4D7sus4 (4x)

A minorAm         DmDm
    He ain't sophisticated,
Ddim7Ddim7      C majorC        G+G
    nor well-educated.
A minorAm          DmDm
    After all the hours he's wasted,
    F minorFm
    Still he needs time...

Cm6Cm6 - D7sus4D7sus4 (4x)

            A minorAm
    He needs time!
              Amadd9Amadd9
    He needs a time for livin'
            DmDm
    He needs time
              Amadd9Amadd9
    For someone just to see him

G+G            C majorC
    He ain't had no lovin'
FF            Bb majorBb
    For no reason or rhyme
G+G               C majorC
    And the whole world's above him

G minorGm                  DmDm
    Well it's not as though he's fat
                  G minorGm
    No, there's more to it than that
                DmDm
    See he tries to play it cool
               Eb MajorEb
    Wouldn't be nobody's fool

DmDm          G minorGm
    That all good things,
C minorCm        FF     Bb majorBb     Bb7Bb7 - Bb6Bb6
    Comes to those that wait
Eb/C       F7F7
    But recently,
DmDm        G minorGm
    He could see
C minorCm         FF       Bb majorBb
    That it may come, but too late.. too late... too late

BbmBbm
    All through your life, all through the years
      AbAb      BbmBbm
    Nobody loves, nobody cares

    So dim the light, dark are your fears
        AbAb               BbmBbm
    Try as I might, I can't hold back the tears

    How can you live, without love, it's not fair
        AbAb              BbmBbm
    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?
         AbAb        BbmBbm
    Hearing's alright for them that's all there
         AbAb
    Hearing's alright...

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