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

So for now

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

C C Em Em
This engine screams out loud
Am Am G G
Sayin the beat gonna crawl westbound
C C Em Em
So i dont even make a sound
Am Am G G
Cause its gunna sting me when i leave this town
C C
All the people in the street
Em Em
That i'll never get to meet
Am Am G G
If these tracks dont bend somehow
C C
And i got no time
Em Em
That i got to get to
Am Am G G
Where i dont need to be

So i

C C Em Em
I need this
Am Am G G
Old train to breakdown
C C Em Em
Oh, please just
Am Am G G
Let me please breakdown
C C Em Em
I, need this here
Am Am G G
Old train to breakdown
C C Em Em
Oh, please just
Am Am G G C C
Let me please breakdown
G G F F C C
I wanna break on down
G G F F C C
But i can't stop now
G G F F C C
Let me break on down

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

C C Em Em
I need this
Am Am G G
Old train to breakdown
C C Em Em
Oh, please just
Am Am G G
Let me please breakdown
C C Em Em
I, need this
Am Am G G
Old train to breakdown
C C Em Em
Oh, please just
Am Am G G C C
Let me please breakdown
G G F F C C
I wanna break on down
G G F F C C
But i can't stop now
