      (piano intro)

Am                  Dm
        Rudy's on a train to nowhere,
Ddim7           C               G
        Halfway down the line.
Am               Dm
        He don't wanna get there,
        Fm
        But he needs time.

Cm6 - D7sus4  (4x)

Am                  Dm
        He ain't sophisticated,
Ddim7           C               G
        nor well-educated.
Am                    Dm
        After all the hours he's wasted,
        Fm
        Still he needs time... 

Cm6 - D7sus4 (4x)

                        Am
        He needs time!
                            Amadd9
        He needs a time for livin'
                        Dm
        He needs time
                            Amadd9
        For someone just to see him

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

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

Eb/C         F7
        Rudy thought,
Dm                    Gm
        That all good things,
Cm               F          Bb          Bb7 - Bb6
        Comes to those that wait
Eb/C              F7
        But recently,
Dm               Gm
        He could see
Cm                  F             Bb
        That it may come, but too late.. too late... too late

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

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

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

                 
        You'd better 
Bbm                         Cm/Bb
        You'd better get control of
Bbm                           Cm/Bb
        You'd better show 'em all now
Bbm                          Cm/Bb
        You'd better make or break now
Bbm                           Cm/Bb
        You'd better give and take now
Bm                              C#m/B
        You'll have to push and show them
Bm                               C#m/B
        You'll have to find some love now...
Bm                           C#m/B
        You'd better gain control now

Esus4                      Dm7
        Now he's just come out the movie
G#dim                   Em       D6no3
        Numb of all the pain
Am                   Dm
        Sad but in a while he'll soon be
Fm7
        Back on his train
