From Macauley Station

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....
