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 roll through town
C C
And though my windows got a view
Em Em
The frame I'm looking through
Am Am G G
Seems to have no concern for now

So for now


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
Centipede gonna crawl westbound
C C EM EM
So I don't even make a sound
AM AM G G
Cause it's gonna 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


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
Let me please breakdown
G G
I wanna break on down
G G
But I cant stop now
AM AM G G
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 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


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
Let me please breakdown
G G C C
I wanna break on down

But I cant stop now
