[Em] [Am]
[G] [C] I hope [Em] this old train breaks [Am] down, then I can [G] take 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 can [Am] take them, I just roll [G] through time.
[C] And though my window's got a view, [Em] well the frame I look through [Am] seems to have no concern [G] for now.
I [C]
[A] need [Am] this old train [G] to break [C] down, [Bm] oh please [Am] just let me [G] please break [C] down.

[Em] [Am]
[G] [C]
This [Em] angel screams out [Am] loud, saying I'll be [G] going across westbound.
[C] So I don't [Em] even make a sound, [Am] cause it's gonna sting me [G] when I leave this town.
[C] And all the people in the street [Em] that I'll never get to meet, [Am] these tracks don't bend [G] somehow.
[C] And I got no time [Em] that I got to get [Am] to where I don't need [G] to be.

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