EmAs the express train passes the loAcal It moves Dby just like a paper boEmat
AlthouEmgh it weights a million Apounds I Dswear it almost seems to Emfloat
And as Emwe pass by eachAother Our F#mheads are full of Bmbother
We can't Emlook, we can't Astop We can't F#mthink, we can't Bmstop
'Cause we're Emstuck in our Apaths And it's the F#mway it always Bmlasts
And I need Em something more A From you .D..
