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

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

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

G chordG Bm chordBm
I need this
Em chordEm D chordD
Old train to breakdown
G chordG Bm chordBm

Let me please breakdown

G chordG Bm chordBm
This engine screams out loud
Em chordEm D chordD
Centipede gonna crawl westbound
G chordG Bm chordBm

G chordG
All the people in the street
Bm chordBm
That I'll never get to meet

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

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

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

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