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
>From where we both stand

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
