D5
As much as I love you

A5            A5
As much as I care

D5                            A5             A5
I just can't pretend that the problem's not there

G5           F5
We know the boundaries

     A5
>From where we both stand

G5                 D5            E5
Our life has been happy without any pain

               D5
But now I feel sorrow

                    E5
as friendship turns stale

                    D5
Our love's still on track but,

G5               C5    F5 C5 F5 C5 F5
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


C5              D5               A5
White clouds appear like cotton wool

               D5
The wind bends trees to bow

F5        Bd                F5
As we farewell this love of ours

              Bd
like some old sacred cow

C5          D5
As sure as heaven's above us

A5          D5
and hell is down below

F5              Bd
Without a third rail to drive us

A5            D5
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
