4th verse (special)

[Em]As the express train passes the lo[A]cal

It moves [D]by just like a paper bo[Em]at

Althou[Em]gh it weights a million [A]pounds

I [D]swear it almost seems to [Em]float

And as [Em]we pass by each[A]other

Our [F#m]heads are full of [Bm]bother

We can't [Em]look, we can't [A]stop

We can't [F#m]think, we can't [Bm]stop

'Cause we're [Em]stuck in our [A]paths

And it's the [F#m]way it always [Bm]lasts

And I need [Em] something more[A]

From you .[D]..
