Verse 1
Dm 
When the old school keeps
C 
G 
slippin' away
Dm 
When con sciousness alone
C 
G 
won't make it stay
Am 
C 
But when the time comes to count
G 
your blessings for
Dm 
C 
G 
Memories of long forgotten days
Dm 
C 
When the last train is moored in
G 
for the northern door
Dm 
And the time runs more
C 
G 
quickly than before
Am 
When your mind can finally choose
C 
G 
the path you see
Dm 
C 
But there's no  one on this station
here but me
G 
Am 
When you make your mind up
C 
I promise you
G 
I will never ever let you walk away
D 
Am 
And when you say your time is up
C 
I will make you stay
G 
D 
Forever in this place along the way
Dm 
C 
G 
When it all keeps slipping down, down
Dm 
When the ace is in your hand
C 
G 
or hit the ground
Am 
And the man that you once were
C 
G 
is hard to see
Dm 
And the voice you once held
C 
has slowly drowned
G 
Am 
When you make your mind up,
C 
I promise you
Dm 
G 
I will never ever let you walk away
D 
Am 
And when you say your time is up,
C 
I will make you stay
Dm 
G 
D 
forever in this place along the way
Em 
G 
Em 
G 
A long way
D 
C 
G 
Am 
G 
F 
G 
Dm 
C 
G 
Now as I gaze upon your face,
Dm 
Em 
G 
I thank God, thank God in all his grace.
Em 
Am 
this time back now,
C 
and you'll never go without.
Dm 
G 
I'll be there when you call me,
D 
I'll stand here right by you.
Am 
When you don't hit my tail,
C 
I  promised you enough
G 
D 
that I would never walk away
