A Million Miles Away

	  		
Intro: Em D C D (2x)


verse 1 

            Em        D             C              D 
There was a man named Jim who walked everywhere he went 
               Em                  D                        C    D  
Cause he could never quite seem to keep his mind on the road 
            Em         D             C             D 
One day it occurred to Jim that he'd taken a wrong turn 
             Em            D                    C    D 
Cause he was standing in a place he didn't know 


verse 2 

    Em          D                   C               D 
Jim spun on his heels thinking he's backtrack for a while 
    Em                D                  C       D 
But before he knew it the sun was sinking 
        Em               D   
And the landscape in the dark 
         C               D              Em              D 
Well, it could have been New Zealand or New York or New Mexico 
        C                    D 
So what else is new, Jim was thinking 


verse 3 

                  Em            D         C           D 
Because see for a while now Jim felt like things were changing for him 
         Em          D                           C               D 
Like the skin of the earth was stretching or the continents were adrift 
           Em             D               C        D 
Jim didn't know if it was so or if it was just him although 
      Em                  D                   C       D 
He suspected that it was a bit of both he was dealing with  

      Em   D        C       D 
And I feel like I'm tripping 
      Em      D     C        D 
And I feel my steps slipping today 
         Em            D           C              D 
Feel the winds of time whipping my coat around my legs 
      Em   D       C       D     Em    
And I feel about a million miles away

verse 4 

     Em          D               C               D 
Dawn broke, Jim awoke, he'd been sleeping on his feet 
       Em          D                   C   D 
It was morning now but a densely foggy day 
     Em               D       C                   D 
Jim decided he'd just sit and wait for the fog to lift 
            Em        D       C        D  
But when it didn't he started up again anyway 


Verse 5 

                      Em                D          C     
Man, this is like the blind leading the blind, Jim thought 
           D             Em             D            C  D 
About that time down the road came this seeing-eye dog 
       Em                 D             C                   D   
It was well-fed and had a collar but no matter how loud Jim hollered 
                 Em            D                     C   D 
There wasn't any answer, so he walked on through the fog 


Verse 6 

             Em             D                C             D 
Alright, I'm lost, Jim said aloud although a bit begrudgingly 
                  Em        D             C         D 
Like things might change in light of this confession 
            Em         D                      C        D 
He was both amazed and sour that at this late date and hour 
         Em           D       C        D 
He might find himself in this situation 


      Em   D        C       D 
And I feel like I'm tripping 
      Em      D     C        D 
And I feel my steps slipping today 
         Em            D           C              D 
Feel the winds of time whipping my coat around my legs 
      Em   D       C       D     Em    
And I feel about a million miles away

Verse 7 

      Em                  D                C                 D 
After walking through the haze for another night and another day 
    Em        D               C    D 
Jim seemed to simply cease to exist 
        Em               D              C             D 
All his panic, hope, and thoughts broke up into small dots 
      Em           D                 C    D 
As he gave himself away into the mist 

        Em             D             C                D 
Back in town where Jim lived, sad to say he was never missed 
        Em             D                  C         D 
And his name was never spoken again, it's awful but true 
        Em       D                   C                   D 
Out my window at night I think I see Jim standing in the half-light 
       Em        D                 C      D 
Saying hurry up, suffering's got a job to do 

      Em   D        C       D 
And I feel like I'm tripping 
      Em      D     C        D 
And I feel my steps slipping today 
         Em            D           C              D 
Feel the winds of time whipping my coat around my legs 
      Em   D       C       D     Em    
And I feel about a million miles away
