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

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


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

So I

C C G G
I, need this here
Am Am Fm Fm
Old train to breakdown
C C G G
Oh, please just
Am Am Fm Fm
Let me please breakdown
C C G G
I, need this here
Am Am Fm Fm
Old train to breakdown
C C G G
Oh, please just
Am Am Fm Fm
Let me please breakdown
C C G G
I wanna break on down
Am Am Fm Fm
But I cant stop now

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

C C G G
I, need this here
Am Am Fm Fm
Old train to breakdown
C C G G
Oh, please just
Am Am Fm Fm
Let me please breakdown
C C G G
I, need this here
Am Am Fm Fm
Old train to breakdown
C C G G
Oh, please just
Am Am Fm Fm
Let me please breakdown
C C G G
I wanna break on down
Am Am Fm Fm
But I cant stop now
