Intro: C Em Am G  

C                 Em
  I hope this old train breaks down
Am                    G
  Then I could take a walk around
C                Em
  See there's no time to see
Am               G
  Time is just a melody
C
  All the people in the street
Em
  Walk as fast as their feet can take them
Am                         G
  I just roam through town
                C
  And though my windows got a view
          Em
  but the frame I'm looking through
           Am                      G
  Seems to have no concern for me now

So for now
C   Em
  I need this
Am             G
  Old train to breakdown
C     Em
  Oh, please just
Am              G
  Let me please breakdown

C Em Am G (2x) 

C             Em
  This engine screams out loud
Am                     G
  Sayin the beat gunna crawl westbound
C                 Em
  So I don't even make a sound
Am                              G
  Cause its gunna sting me when I leave this town
        C
All the people in the street
          Em
That I'll never get to meet
   Am                           G
If these tracks don't bend somehow
    C
And I got no time
     Em
That I got to get to
      Am                G
Where I don't need to be

For now

C   Em
  I need this
Am             G
  Old train to breakdown
C     Em
  Oh, please just
Am              G
  Let me please breakdown
C   Em
  I need this
Am             G
  Old train to breakdown
C     Em
  Oh, please just
Am              G
  Let me please breakdown

C Em C Em (2x)

        C
But you cant stop nothing
       Em
If you got no control
       Am
Of the thoughts in your mind
         G
That you kept in, you know
    C
You don't know nothing
        Em
But you don't need to know
    Am
The wisdoms in the trees
        G
Not the glass windows
    C
You cant stop wishing
       Em
If you dont let go
    Am
But things that you find
        G
And you lose, and you know
    C
You keep on rolling
        Em
Put the moment on hold
    Am
The frames too bright
           G
So put the blinds down low

C   Em
  I need this
Am             G
  Old train to breakdown
C     Em
  Oh, please just
Am              G
  Let me please breakdown
C   Em
  I need this
Am             G
  Old train to breakdown
C     Em
  Oh, please just
Am              G
  Let me please breakdown

C Em Am G (4x) C
