(piano intro)

Rudy’s on a train to nowhere,
Halfway down the line.
He don’t wanna get there,
But he needs time.

Cm6 – D7sus4 (4x)

He ain’t sophisticated,
nor well-educated.
After all the hours he’s wasted,
Still he needs time…

Cm6 – D7sus4 (4x)

He needs time!
He needs a time for livin’
He needs time
For someone just to see him

He ain’t had no lovin’
For no reason or rhyme
And the whole world’s above him

Well it’s not as though he’s fat
No, there’s more to it than that
See he tries to play it cool
Wouldn’t be nobody’s fool

(gu[-]itar [-]solo)[-]

[Eb/C] Rudy thought,
That all good things,
Comes to those that wait[-]
[Eb/C] But recently,
He could see
That it may come, but too late.. too late… too late

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

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

How can you live, without love, it’s not fair
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?
Hearing’s alright for them that’s all there
Hearing’s alright…

You’d better
You’d better get con[Cm/Bb]trol of
You’d better show ‘em [Cm/Bb]all now
You’d better make or [Cm/Bb]break now
You’d better give and [Cm/Bb]take now
You’ll have to push and [C#m/B]show them
You’ll have to find some [C#m/B]love now…
You’d better gain con[C#m/B]trol now

E - F - F# - G - G# - A - A# - B - C - C# - D - D# - E

(music interval)

(sound interval – train station)

Now he’s just come out the movie
G#dim Em D6no3
Numb of all the pain
Sad but in a while he’ll soon be
Back on his train
