[Intro] Em D Bm A 2x [Verse 1]
Em          D               Bm
  Sit on a train, reading a book

            A                  Em
Same damn planet every time I look

          D                   Bm
Try to relax and slow my heartbeat

       A                     Em
Only works when I'm dead asleep

                    D                    Bm
Been thinking and drinking all over the town

                 A                       Em     D    Bm    A
Must be gearing up for some kind of meltdown
[Chorus]
Am   C         G     Am          C            G
    All I am is          a body floating downwind    

Am   C         G     Am          C            G
    All I am is          a body floating downwind    
[Interlude] Em D Bm A [Verse 2]
Em        D
  What's wrong? nothing

Bm                         A
  Are you sure nothing's wrong? yeah

Em                     D
  But you're sad about something? yeah

Bm             A
  So tell me what I don't know

Em   D
     I can't tell you

Bm   A
     I can't tell you

Em   D
     I can't tell you

Bm   A
     I can't tell you
[Chorus]
Am   C         G     Am          C            G
    All I am is          a body floating downwind    

Am   C         G     Am          C            G
    All I am is          a body floating downwind    
[Verse 3]
Em          D               Bm
  Sit on a train, reading a book

            A                  Em
Same damn planet every time I look

          D                   Bm
Try to relax and slow my heartbeat

       A                     Em
Only works when I'm dead asleep

                    D                    Bm
Been thinking and drinking all over the town

                 A                       Em     D    Bm    A
Must be gearing up for some kind of meltdown
[Bridge]
          Em                     A
As the express train passes the local

          D                   Em
It moves by just like a paper boat

                               A
Although it weighs a million pounds

    D                        Em
I swear it almost seems to float

                       A
And as we pass by each other

     F#m               Bm
Our heads all 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
Because we're stuck in our own paths

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

       Em             A         D
And I need something more from you
[Interlude] Am C G [Chorus]
Am   C         G     Am          C            G
    All I am is          a body floating downwind    

Am   C         G     Am          C            G
    All I am is          a body floating downwind    
[Outro] Am C G
