A C#m D E
Once more just before I’m leaving, torn on the platform
A C#m D E
Once more just before I’m leaving, torn on the platform
D C#m Bm A
Cos I miss you and I love you, but I know this is over for now
D C#m Bm A
Cos I miss you, ooh, how I miss you, you’re not my girl you’re my town
[Pre-verse]
A C#m D E
A C#m D E E E7 E7
[Verse 1]
A C#m D
A weekend away, leave the city today
E
Don't want the big smoke to leave me behind
A C#m D
The train leaves at 2, platform 3 Waterloo
E
50p to the tramp makes me feel kind
[Verse 2]
A C#m D
I get a good seat, with a window my feet
E
Are up on the one in front, everyone stares
A C#m D
Why do they care, like there's feelings in chairs
E
Trapped for 3 hours until I get there
[Bridge]
A
Cos my eyes eyes eyes
C#m
Are not dry dry dry
D
As I realise ise ise
E
That in a few minutes the train will be gone
A
Sighs sighs sighs
C#m
City fly’s fly’s fly’s
D
Wonder why why why
E
Would anyone want to leave where I come from?
[Chorus]
A C#m D E
I’m torn on the platform ooooh
A C#m D E
Torn on the platform oooooh
A C#m D E
Torn on the platform ooooh
A C#m D E
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
[Pre-Verse]
A C#m D E
A C#m D E E E7 E7
[Verse 3]
It's 1:58, wish that I had been late
And missed the train and given them an excuse
[Verse 4]
But what is the use, I've less slack than a noose
Do or die, stay or go, what shall I choose
[Bridge]
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?
[Chorus]
Torn on the platform
Torn on the platform
Torn on the platform
[Pre-Verse]
[Bridge 2]
D Dm A A7
Like in a film the motion starts to slow
D Dm A A7
As the beeping carriage doors begin to close
D Dm A A7
Momenterily I'm standing froze
B
Then I jump between the gap
D
Land on the platform flat
[Chorus]
I'm not
Torn on the platform
Torn on the platform
Torn on the platform
[Ending]
A C#m D E
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
