[Am] [G]
[C] [Am] [Em]
[Am] [G]
[C] [Am] I hope this [Em] old train breaks [Am] down, then I could take [G] a walk around
[C] See [Em] what there is to see, [Am] time [G] is just a melody
[C] With all the people in the street [Em] walking fast as their feet [Am] can take them
I just roll [G] through town, [C] and though my window's got a view
Well [Em] the frame I'm looking through [Am] seems to have no concern [G] for now
[C] [G] I need [Am] this old [G] train to break [C] down
Oh [G] please [Am] just let me [G] please break
[C] down
[Am] [G]
[C] [Am] [Em]
[Am] [G]
[C] [Am] Well this [Em] engine screams out [Am] loud, saying I'll be [G] going across [C] westbound
[Am] So I [Em] don't even make a [Am] sound, cause it's gonna sting [G] me when I leave this town
[C] And all the people in [Am] the street [Em] that I'll never get to meet
[Am] These tracks don't bend [G] somehow
[C] And I got no [Am] [Em] time, that I got to get [Am] to where I don't [G] need to be

[G] [F] Let me [C] break on down, [G] [F]
[C] but you can't stop nothing
If you got no control of [Am] the thoughts in your mind [G] that you kept in
[C] You don't know nothing, but [Em] you don't need [C] to know
[Am] The wisdom's in the trees, [G] not the glass windows
[C] You can't stop wishing [Em] if you don't let [Am] go
The things that you [G] find and you lose and you know
[C] You keep [Am] on rolling, [Em] put the moment on [Am] hold
The frame's too broad, [G] so put the blinds down [C] low
I [G] need [Am] this old train to [G]
