Belle and Sebastian - The Loneliness of a Middle Distance Runner: chords

C#m                B
I'll take a second of the day
   G#m               A
to think about the things that we
      E            A E
have done this year
    C#m                 B
The dog lies down, the pouring rain
    A               G#m             F#
I'm underneath the smoker's railway arch again

Chorus:
     A                E
The future's looking colourful
          A                 E
It's the colour of blood, chaos and
     A           C#m
corruption of a happy soul
   G#m
A happy soul will
 A           E
Ride in the field
 A           E
Ride in the field
 A           E
Ride in the field
          B
Till the rain dies down

The railway ticket states the destination
But it doesn't mean that we will show
There's a fork upon the line
We pay the guard to switch the sign
Off we go

Chorus:
The future's looking wonderful
It's the wonder of a businessman's
conspiracy to sell you wares
No one cares
Oh, you care, I know
You care, I know
You care, I know
I forgot for a while

On a soggy afternoon spent in dispute
You give yourself a headache, boy
So I spent the day in stories
And in dreaming of the time when we're on stage

Have you seen The Loneliness of
the Middle Distance Runner
When he stops the race and looks around
I've left the stage, you've seen it it now

I walk to the station
Walk to the station
Walk to the station
Won't you follow me down?

Walk to the station
Walk to the station
Walk to the station
Won't you follow me down?
