Note: The chord pattern is the same throughout the song, but for the second D, I slide the previous C
      up 2 frets to and let the G and High E strings ring making it a Dadd4add9. A regular D works, 
      but the Dadd4add9 makes it sound a bit more haunting
[Intro]
Em D C D
Em D C D
[Verse 1]
There was a Emman named DJim who walked Ceverywhere he Dwent
Cause he could Emnever quite seem to Dkeep his mind on the roadC  D  
One day it oEmccurred to DJim that he'd Ctaken a wrong Dturn
Cause he was Emstanding in a Dplace he didn't knowC  D  
[Verse 2]
Jim Emspun on his Dheels thinking he's Cbacktrack for a Dwhile
But Embefore he knew it Dthe sun was sinkingC  D  
And the Emlandscape in the Ddark
Well, it Ccould have been DNew Zealand or EmNew York or New DMexico
So what Celse is new, Jim was Dthinking
[Verse 3]
Because see for a Emwhile now Jim Dfelt like Cthings were Dchanging for him
Like the Emskin of the Dearth was stretching or the Ccontinents were Dadrift
Jim didn't Emknow if it was Dso or if it was Cjust him Dalthough
He susEmpected that it was a Dbit of both he was Cdealing Dwith
[Chorus]
And I Emfeel Dlike I'm CtrippingD  
And I Emfeel my Dsteps Cslipping Dtoday
Feel the Emwinds of time Dwhipping my Ccoat around my Dlegs
And I Emfeel Dabout a Cmillion Dmiles Emaway
D  C  D Em D C D
[Verse 4]
Dawn Embroke, Jim aDwoke, he'd been Csleeping on his Dfeet
It was Emmorning now Dbut a densely foggy CdayD  
Jim dEmecided he'd just Dsit and Cwait for the fog to Dlift
But when it Emdidn't he Dstarted Cup again Danyway
[Verse 5]
Man, this is like the Emblind leading the Dblind, Jim Cthought
About that Dtime down the Emroad came this Dseeing-eye doCgD  
It was Emwell-fed and had a Dcollar but no Cmatter how loud Jim Dhollered
There wasn't any Emanswer, so he Dwalked on through the CfogD  
[Verse 6]
Alright, I'm Emlost, Jim said Daloud although a Cbit begrudgingDly
Like things might Emchange in Dlight of this CconfessionD  
He was both Emamazed and Dsour that at this late Cdate and Dhour
He might Emfind himself Din this CsituationD  
[Chorus]
And I Emfeel Dlike I'm CtrippingD  
And I Emfeel my Dsteps Cslipping Dtoday
Feel the Emwinds of time Dwhipping my Ccoat around my Dlegs
And I Emfeel Dabout a Cmillion Dmiles Emaway
D  C  D Em D C D
[Verse 7]
After Emwalking through the Dhaze for another Cnight and another Dday
Jim Emseemed to Dsimply cease to CexistD  
All his Empanic, hope, and Dthoughts broke Cup into small Ddots
As he Emgave himself Daway into the mistC  D  
Back in Emtown where Jim Dlived, sad to Csay he was never Dmissed
And his Emname was never Dspoken again, it's Cawful but Dtrue
Out my wEmindow at Dnight I think I see CJim standing in the Dhalf-light
Saying Emhurry up, Dsuffering's got a Cjob to Ddo
[Chorus]
And I Emfeel Dlike I'm CtrippingD  
And I Emfeel my Dsteps Cslipping Dtoday
Feel the Emwinds of time Dwhipping my Ccoat around my Dlegs
And I Emfeel Dabout a Cmillion Dmiles Emaway
[Outro]
EmA million Dmiles (a million miles)... 
a Cmillion mDiles (a million miles)..... 
EmI feel Dlike I'm a Cmillion miles Daway.. [repeat and fade]

Note: The chord pattern is the same throughout the song, but for the second D, I slide the previous C

up 2 frets to and let the G and High E strings ring making it a Dadd4add9. A regular D works,

but the Dadd4add9 makes it sound a bit more haunting

[Intro]

Em D C D

[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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

Em D

A million miles (a million miles)...

C D

a million miles (a million miles).....

Em D C D

I feel like I'm a million miles away.. [repeat and fade]
