C                Em 
I hope this old train breaks down 
Am                  G 
Then I could take a walk around 
C                    Em 
And, see what there is to see 
Am                  G 
And time is just a melody 
C                     
All the people in the street 
Em 
Walk as fast as their feet can take them 
Am                    G 
I just roam through town 
C                             
And though my windows got a view 
Em                   
The frame im looking through 
Am                              G 
Seems to have no concern for me now 
 
So for now 
 
{Chorus} 
C      Em 
I, need this here 
Am           G 
Old train to breakdown 
C    Em 
Oh, please just 
Am             G 
Let me please breakdown 
 
 
C            Em 
This engine screams out loud 
Am              G 
Sayin the beat gonna crawl westbound 
C               Em 
So I dont even make a sound 
Am                               G 
Cause its gunna sting me when I leave this town 
C 
All the people in the street 
Em 
That i'll never get to meet 
   Am               G 
If these dont bend somehow 
C 
And I got no time 
Em 
That I got to get to 
Am                   G 
Where I dont need to be 
 
So I 
 
C  Em 
I, need this here 
Am           G 
Old train to breakdown 
C    Em 
Oh, please just 
Am             G 
Let me please breakdown 
C   Em 
I, need this here 
Am            G 
Old train to breakdown 
C    Em 
Oh, please just 
Am              G 
Let me please breakdown 
C                 Em 
I wanna break on down 
Am              G 
But I cant stop now 
 
C 
But you cant stop nothing 
Em 
If you got no control 
Am 
Of the thoughts in your mind 
G 
That you kept in, you know 
C 
You dont know nothing 
Em 
But you dont need to know 
Am 
The wisdoms in the trees 
G 
Not the glass windows 
C 
You cant stop wishing 
Em 
If you dont let go 
Am 
But things that you find 
G 
And you lose, and you know 
C 
You keep on rolling 
Em 
Put the moment on hold 
Am 
The frames too bright 
G 
So put the blinds down low 
 
C   Em 
I, need this here 
Am           G 
Old train to breakdown 
C    Em 
Oh, please just 
Am             G 
Let me please breakdown 
C   Em 
I, need this here 
Am             G 
Old train to breakdown 
C    Em 
Oh, please just 
Am              G 
Let me please breakdown 
C                 Em 
I wanna break on down 
Am             G 
But I cant stop now
