[C] [Em]
[Am] [G]
[C] [Em]
[Am] [G]
[C] I hope this [Em] old train breaks down, [Am] then I can [G] take a walk around
[C] See [Am] what [Em] there is to [Am] see, time is [G] just a melody
With [C] all the people in the street [Em] walking fast as their feet can [Am] teak
I might just roll through [G] town, and [C] though my window's got a few
[Em] Well the frame I'm looking through [Am] seems to have no concern for [G] now
[C] [G] I need this [Am] old train [G] to break [C] down
Oh [G] please [Am] just let me [G] please break [C] down
[Am] [G]
[C] [Em]
[Am] [G]
[C] [Am] This [Em] engine screams out [Am] loud, it's in a peak [G] on a crawl westbound
[C] So [Am] I don't [Em] even make a sound, [Am] cause it's gonna sting me [G] when I leave this town
[C] All the people in the street [Em] that I never get to meet, [Am] these tracks don't bend [G] somehow
And [C] I got no [Am] time [Em] that I got to get [Am] to where I don't need [G] to be
So [C] I, I [G] need this [Am] old train [G] to break [C] down
[G] Oh please [Am] just let me [G] please break [C] down
I need this [Am] old train [G] to break [C] down
Oh [G] please [Am] just let me [G] please break down
[C] [G] I [F] wanna break [C] on down, [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
Then you [C] know, you don't know nothing but you don't need to know
[Am] The 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] and you lose and you know
[C] You keep on [Am] rolling, [Em] put the moment on [Am] hold
The frame's too broad, so [G] put the blinds down low
[C] I [G] need this [Am] old train [G] to break down
[C] Oh [G] please [Am] just let me [G] please break [C] down
I need this [Am] old train [G] to break [C] down
Oh [G] please [Am] just let me [G] please break
[C] down
[Am] [G] I wanna break [C] on down, [Em]
[Am] [G] but I [C] can't stop now
[Em] [Am] [G]
