D# G#      A#
I  know by now
     Gm     A#             Cm
That no-one cheers up when told to
          D#       A#
That it's more the arms
     Cm
That hold you
         G#             A#
Than whatever words are said


D# G#       A#
Of course I know
        Gm          A#     Cm
But you can't blame me for trying
        D#     A#       Cm
I could hardly hear you crying
        G#          A#
For the traffic overhead


Fm         D#     G#
There will come a time
     Fm         D#     G#
When there will come a train
                     D#
To take us somewhere else


D#  G#      A#
You figured out
    Gm      A#      Cm
You needn't break a promise
    D#    A#    Cm
For it to be dishonest
    G#          A#
For you to be undone


D#  G#        A#
But spare yourself
    Gm     A#   Cm
The self-recriminations
    D#     A#       Cm
And summon all your patience
        G#           A#
For the summer still to come


       Fm         D#     G#
'Cause there will come a time
     Fm         D#     G#
When there will come a train
                     D#
To take us somewhere else
     A#                   Gm
Far away from the factory shells
                  Cm
And the shades of grey
                  D#
From the pools of piss
               A#
And the broken glass
     Gm            Cm
Underneath the overpass
                   D#
From the rush-hour roar
                A#
And the nagging rain
                  Gm
There will come a time
                  Cm
There will come a train
                  D#
There will come a time
                  A#
There will come a train
                  Gm
There will come a time
                  D#
There will come a train....
