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

C C
And though my window's got a view, well
Em Em
The frame Im looking through
Am Am G G
Seems to have no concern for now, so for now


Chorus:

C C C/F# C/F#
I need this
Am Am G G
Old train to breakdown
C C C/F# C/F#
Oh please just
Am Am G G
Let me please breakdown

C C Em Em Am Am G G (x2)

C C Em Em
This engine screams out loud
Am Am G G
Centipede gonna crawl westbound
C C Em Em
So I don't even make a sound
Am Am G G
It's 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 don't bend somehow
C C
And I got no time
Em Em
That I got to get to
Am Am G G
Where I don't need to be, so I

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

G G F F

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 don't know nothing
Em Em
But you don't 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 don't 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

Chorus

C C Em Em Am Am G G
I wanna break on down
C C Em Em Am Am G G
But I cant stop now
C C Em Em Am Am G G
C C Em Em Am Am G G
