Dm  Bb  F  C 


 
Bb              F 
 Its 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. 
 

 
         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 


 
Bb          F 
Memories in picture frames, 
        C            F 
All the people faded black, 
    Bb                 F 
The figures lost their meaning, 
            C              F 
Cause there aint 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. 
 

 
         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 


 
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 wouldnt 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. 
 

 
         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.
