Intro:  Feedback, F# riff

F# riff
Smoke lingers ~round your fingers

Train, heave on-to Euston
       B5                    E5                       F# riff
Do you think you~ve made the right decision this time?
  B5      E5       F# riff
Aaahhh, aaahh, aaahhh...


F# riff
Left your tired family grieving

And you think they~re said because you~re leaving
                       B5                          E5                 F# riff
But didn~t you see the Jealousy in the eyes of the ones you left behind
           B5                    E5                       F# riff
And do you think you~ve made the right decision this time?


F# riff
You left your girlfriend on the platform

With this really ragged notion that you~ll return
         B5                  E5
But she knows that when he goes
            F# riff
He really goes
           B5                    E5                       F# riff
And do you think you~ve made the right decision this time?


The ending riff goes something like this (with minor variations):
