4th verse (special)

Em                                A
As the express train passes the local
   
         D                      Em              
It moves by just like a paper boat

      Em                      A   
Although it weights a million pounds

  D                        Em
I swear it almost seems to float

       Em             A
And as we pass by eachother

    F#m               Bm  
Our heads are full of bother

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

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

             Em           A
'Cause we're stuck in our paths

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

            Em                A 
And I need     something more

          D 
From you ...
