    Sit on a train,
D/F#              Gmaj7/B    Gmaj9/B
    reading a book       Same

[Bridge]
                  D/F#
Been thinking and drinking all over the town
Gmaj7/B            Gmaj9/B
       Must be gearing up
Aadd11                   Em11
    for some kind of meltdown

[Verse 4]
D/F# Gmaj7/B Gmaj9/B
Aadd11         Em                       A
      As the express train passes the local
           D
It moves by just like a paper boat
Em        Em                      A
  Although  it weighs a million pounds
       D
I swear it almost seems to float
Em       Em                A
  And as we pass by each other
         Gbm               Bm
Our heads   all full of bother
              Em             A
We can't look,  we can't stop
               Gbm             Bm
We can't think,   we can't stop
                   Em                A
Because we're stuck  in our own paths
                Gbm               Bm
And it's the way   it always lasts
          Em              A     D
But I need  something more from you

[Chorus]
Amadd9 Cmaj7 Am9/G   Amadd9
                  All      I am is,
Cmaj7 Am9/G            Amadd9
           a body floating downwind
Cmaj7 Am9/G   Amadd9
           All      I am is,
Cmaj7 Am9/G            Amadd9
           a body floating downwind

[Interlude]
Cmaj7 Am9/G     Amadd9      Cmaj7 Am9/G Amadd9 Cmaj7 Am9/G Amadd9 Cmaj7 Am9/G Amadd9 Cmaj7 Am9/G Amadd9 Cmaj7 Am9/G Amadd9 Cmaj7 Am9/G Amadd9 Cmaj7 Am9/G Amadd9 Cmaj7 Am9/G Amadd9 Cmaj7 Am9/G Amadd9 Cmaj7 Am9/G Amadd9 Cmaj7 Am9/G Amadd9 Cmaj7 Am9/G
           Floating downwind
