^EAs much as I love you ^EAs much as I ^B7care

^EI just can't pretend that the^E problem's not^B7 there ^DWe know the ^Gboundaries

>F^Bmrom where we both stand ^DOur life has been ^Amhappy without ^B7any pain

But now I feel ^Amsorrow as friendship turns ^Bmstale

Our love's still on ^Amtrack but, ^Dwithout a third ^Grail ^G ^G ^G ^G ^G

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

^GWhite clouds ap^Ampear like cotton ^Bmwool The wind bends ^A7trees to bow

Cm Bd Cm As we farewell this love of ours Bd like some old sacred cow

^GAs sure as ^Amheaven's above us ^Bmand hell is ^A7down below

Cm Bd Without a third rail to drive us

^Bmwe'll have no ^A7place 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
