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 ...
