Third Rail
by Squeeze (from the CD "Some Fantastic Place")
transcribed by Gary Snegaroff (SnegG@aol.com)
(riff - you're on your own here)
D
As much as I love you
A A7
As much as I care
D A A7
I just can't pretend that the problem's not there
G F
We know the boundaries
Am
>From where we both stand
G Dm E7
Our life has been happy without any pain
Dm
But now I feel sorrow
Em
as friendship turns stale
Dm
Our love's still on track but,
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/squeeze/third_rail_crd.html ]
G C F C F C F
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
C Dm Am
White clouds appear like cotton wool
D7
The wind bends trees to bow
Fm Bd Fm
As we farewell this love of ours
Bd
like some old sacred cow
C Dm
As sure as heaven's above us
Am D7
and hell is down below
Fm Bd
Without a third rail to drive us
Am D7
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
