VERSE 2 *Same as before*
It’s 1.58 wish that I had been late
And missed the train and given them an excuse
But what is the use, I’ve less slack than a nouse
Do or die stay or go what shall I choose
Cos my
Eyes, eyes, eyes
Are not
Dry, dry, dry
As I
Realise, ise, ise
That in a few minutes this train will be gone
Sighs, sighs, sighs
City
Fly’s, fly’s, fly’s
Wonder
Why, why, why
Would anyone want to leave where I come from?
Torn on the platform
Torn on the platform
Torn on the platform
D C#m open A
Like in a film the motion starts to slow
D C#m open A
As the beeping carriage doors begine to close
D C#m A
Momenterily I’m standing froze
Bm
Then I jump between the gap
D
Land on the platform flat
I’m not
Torn on the platform
Torn on the platform
Torn on the platform
