[C C] I hope this old [Em Em] train breaks down.
[Am Am] Then I could take a [G G] walk around and
[C C] See what there [Em Em] is to see
[Am Am] Time is just a [G G] melody

With all the [C C] people in the street
Walking [Em Em] fast as their feet
Can take them, [Am Am] I just roll through [G G] town.

And though my [C C] window's got a view,
Well, the [Em Em] frame I'm looking through,
Seems to [Am Am] have no concern for me [G G] now.

[C C] I need this [Am Am] old train to [G G] break down
[C C] Oh, please just [Am Am] let me please [G G] breakdown

[C C] Well, this engine [Em Em] screams out loud,
[Am Am] Centipede gonna [G G] crawl west bound.
[C C] So I don't even [Em Em] make a sound cause
[Am Am] It's gonna sting me when I [G G] leave this town.

And all the [C C] people in the street
That I'll [Em Em] never get to meet
(if) these [Am Am] tracks don't bend [G G] somehow.

And [C C] I got no time
that I [Em Em] got to get to where
[Am Am] I don't need to [G G] be.

[C C] I need this [Am Am] old train to [G G] break down
[C C] Oh, please just [Am Am] let me please [G G] breakdown.

[C C] I need this [Am Am] old train to [G G] break down
[C C] Oh, please just [Am Am] let me please [G G] breakdown
[G G] I wanna [F F] break on [C C] down.
[G G] But I [F F] can't stop now. [C C]
[G G] Let me [F F] break on down. [C C] [G G]

[F F] But you [C C] can't stop nothing if you [Em Em] got no control
Of the [Am Am] thoughts in your mind that you [G G] kept in you, know.
You [C C] don't know nothing, but you [Em Em] don't need to know.
The [Am Am] wisdom's in the trees, not the [G G] glass windows.
You [C C] can't stop wishing if you [Em Em] don't let go
The [Am Am] things that you find and you [G G] lose you know.
You [C C] keep on rolling, put the [Em Em] moment on hold.
The [Am Am] frame's too bright so put the [G G] blinds down low.
And...

[C C] I need this [Am Am] old train to [G G] break down
[C C] Oh, please just [Am Am] let me please [G G] breakdown
[C C] I need this [Am Am] old train to [G G] break down
[C C] Oh, please just [Am Am] let me please [G G] breakdown
