Intro: Em D C D (2x)
verse 1
Em D C D
There was a man named Jim who walked everywhere he went
Em D C D
Cause he could never quite seem to keep his mind on the road
Em D C D
One day it occurred to Jim that he'd taken a wrong turn
Em D C D
Cause he was standing in a place he didn't know
verse 2
Em D C D
Jim spun on his heels thinking he's backtrack for a while
Em D C D
But before he knew it the sun was sinking
Em D
And the landscape in the dark
C D Em D
Well, it could have been New Zealand or New York or New Mexico
C D
So what else is new, Jim was thinking
verse 3
Em D C D
Because see for a while now Jim felt like things were changing for him
Em D C D
Like the skin of the earth was stretching or the continents were adrift
Em D C D
Jim didn't know if it was so or if it was just him although
Em D C D
He suspected that it was a bit of both he was dealing with
Em D C D
And I feel like I'm tripping
Em D C D
And I feel my steps slipping today
Em D C D
Feel the winds of time whipping my coat around my legs
Em D C D Em
And I feel about a million miles away
D C D Em D C D
verse 4
Em D C D
Dawn broke, Jim awoke, he'd been sleeping on his feet
Em D C D
It was morning now but a densely foggy day
Em D C D
Jim decided he'd just sit and wait for the fog to lift
Em D C D
But when it didn't he started up again anyway
Verse 5
Em D C
Man, this is like the blind leading the blind, Jim thought
D Em D C D
About that time down the road came this seeing-eye dog
Em D C D
It was well-fed and had a collar but no matter how loud Jim hollered
Em D C D
There wasn't any answer, so he walked on through the fog
Verse 6
Em D C D
Alright, I'm lost, Jim said aloud although a bit begrudgingly
Em D C D
Like things might change in light of this confession
Em D C D
He was both amazed and sour that at this late date and hour
Em D C D
He might find himself in this situation
Em D C D
And I feel like I'm tripping
Em D C D
And I feel my steps slipping today
Em D C D
Feel the winds of time whipping my coat around my legs
Em D C D Em
And I feel about a million miles away
D C D Em D C D
Verse 7
Em D C D
After walking through the haze for another night and another day
Em D C D
Jim seemed to simply cease to exist
Em D C D
All his panic, hope, and thoughts broke up into small dots
Em D C D
As he gave himself away into the mist
Em D C D
Back in town where Jim lived, sad to say he was never missed
Em D C D
And his name was never spoken again, it's awful but true
Em D C D
Out my window at night I think I see Jim standing in the half-light
Em D C D
Saying hurry up, suffering's got a job to do
Em D C D
And I feel like I'm tripping
Em D C D
And I feel my steps slipping today
Em D C D
Feel the winds of time whipping my coat around my legs
Em D C D Em
And I feel about a million miles away
