Verse 1
C                                       G
You find yourself by the railroad tracks
Am                                               Em             G
You can't look ahead, but you can't turn back
C                                            G
You eat your faith and you burn your lust
Am                                               Em            
They are two things you don't need anymore.

Chorus
G                                               ­                          Am
When will they see, its just another way of seeing it?
G                                                            ­ Am                Em      G
Maybe they'll see someday. But by then it will be far too late.

V2
C                                             G
The dust it rises into your eyes
Am                                             Em         G
but you shed no tears, your eyes are blind
C                                         G
Your wanderlust has broken your mind
Am                                              Em          ­       G
you're all out of time, and you can't reset the timer

Chorus

Break
Am       C          G
Tired of their criticism
Am      C        G
you try to conform.
Am     C           G
But in the end they find out
Am                 C                                G
they were the ones who were really wrong
G
Don't listen to them. No, No.

Verse 3
C                                                      G
Your face was always such a welcome sight
Am                           Em             G
especially when I could not see it.
C                                        G
We wen't outside, you passed me the light
Am                          Em          G
we let our cares fade into smoke

Chorus
Just a rough draft. Comments appreciated. Peace and love all.
