Third Rail


(riff - you're on your own here)

E
As much as I love you

E            B7
As much as I care

E                            E             B7
I just can't pretend that the problem's not there

D           G
We know the boundaries

     Bm

D                 Am            B7
Our life has been happy without any pain

               Am
But now I feel sorrow

                    Bm
as friendship turns stale

                    Am
Our love's still on track but,

D               G    G G G G G
without a third rail

2nd Verse:
The moon has come up now
The sun has gone down
A million or more times since you've been around
Our life still goes on but
it won't be the same
As when we're together, love only knows pain
With words that are tender
Our love will prevail
But can our love go on,
without a third rail


G              Am               Bm
White clouds appear like cotton wool

               A7
The wind bends trees to bow

Cm        Bd                Cm
As we farewell this love of ours

              Bd
like some old sacred cow

G          Am
As sure as heaven's above us

Bm          A7
and hell is down below

Cm              Bd
Without a third rail to drive us

Bm            A7
we'll have no place to go


3rd Verse:
There's a lump in my throat
I'm choked as I say
Our love has reached twilight, let's call it a day
We kiss on the platform
The doors slowly close
Like theatre curtains pulled after the show
We both know it's over
And somehow we've failed
Love's going in circles
without a third rail
