G G Bm Bm
I hope this old train breaks down
Em Em D D
Then I could take a walk around
G G Bm Bm
And, see what there is to see
Em Em D D
And time is just a melody

G G
With all the people in the street
Bm Bm
Walk as fast as their feet can take them
Em Em D D
I just roll through town

G G
And though my window's got a view
Bm Bm
The frame I'm looking through
Em Em D D
Seems to have no concern for now
D D
So for now

G G Bm Bm
I need this
Em Em D D
Old train to breakdown
G G Bm Bm
Oh please just
Em Em D D
Let me please breakdown


G G Bm Bm Em Em D D
G G Bm Bm Em Em D D


G G Bm Bm
This engine screams out loud
Em Em D D
Centipede gonna crawl westbound
G G Bm Bm
So I don't even make a sound
Em Em D D
Cause it's gonna sting me when I leave this town

G G
All the people in the street
Bm Bm
That I'll never get to meet
Em Em D D
If these tracks don't bend somehow
G G
And I got no time
Bm Bm
That I got to get to
Em Em D D
Where I don't need to be

So I



G G Bm Bm
I need this
Em Em D D
Old train to breakdown
G G Bm Bm
Oh please just
Em Em D D
Let me please breakdown

G G
D D C C G G
I wanna break on down
D D C C G G
But I cant stop now
D D C C G G
Let me break on down


G G
But you cant stop nothing
Bm Bm
If you got no control
Em Em
Of the thoughts in your mind
D D
That you kept in, you know

G G
You don't know nothing
Bm Bm
But you don't need to know
Em Em
The wisdom's in the trees
D D
Not the glass windows

G G
You can't stop wishing
Bm Bm
If you don't let go
Em Em
But things that you find
D D
And you lose, and you know

G G
You keep on rolling
Bm Bm
Put the moment on hold
Em Em
The frames too bright
D D
So put the blinds down low


G G Bm Bm
I need this
Em Em D D
Old train to breakdown
G G Bm Bm
Oh please just
Em Em D D
Let me please breakdown

G G Bm Bm
I need this
Em Em D D
Old train to breakdown
G G Bm Bm
Oh please just
Em Em D D
Let me please breakdown

G G Bm Bm Em Em D D
I wanna break on down
G G Bm Bm Em Em D D
But I can't stop now
G G Bm Bm Em Em D D
G G Bm Bm Em Em D D
G G
