Verse 1
[C]I hope this old [Em]train breaks down
[Am]Then I could take a [G]walk around
[C]And, see what there [Em]is to see
[Am]And time is just a [G]melody
All the [C]people in the street
Walk as [Em]fast as their feet can take them
[Am]I just roam through [G]town
And though my [C]windows got a view
The [Em]frame I’m looking through
Seems to [Am]have no concern for me [G]now
So for now
Chorus
[C]I, [Em]need this here
[Am]Old train to [G]breakdown
[C]Oh, [Em]please just
[Am]Let me please [G]breakdown
Verse 2
This engine [Em]screams out loud
[Am]Sayin’ the beat gonna [G]crawl westbound
[C]So I don’t even [Em]make a sound ’cause
[Am]its gunna sting me when I [G]leave this town
All the [C]people in the street
That I’ll [Em]never get to meet
If these [Am]tracks don’t bend some[G]how
And [C]I got no time
That [Em]I got to get to
[Am]Where I don’t need to [G]be
Chorus
So I
[C]I, [Em]need this here
[Am]Old train to [G]breakdown
[C]Oh, [Em]please just
[Am]Let me please [G]breakdown
[C]I, [Em]need this here
[Am]Old train to [G]breakdown
[C]Oh, [Em]please just
[Am]Let me please [G]breakdown [C] [Em] [Am]
[G]I wanna break on [C]down [Em] [Am]
[G]But I cant stop [C]now [Em] [Am] [G]
Verse 3
But you [C]can’t stop nothing
If you [Em]got no control
Of the [Am]thoughts in your mind
That you [G]kept in, you know
You [C]don’t know nothing
But you [Em]don’t need to know
The [Am]wisdom’s in the trees
Not the [G]glass windows
You [C]cant stop wishing
If you [Em]don’t let go
Of the [Am]things that you find
And you [G]lose, and you know
You [C]keep on rolling
Put the [Em]moment on hold
The [Am]frames too bright
So put the [G]blinds down low
Chorus
[C]I, [Em]need this here
[Am]Old train to [G]breakdown
[C]Oh, [Em]please just
[Am]Let me please [G]breakdown
[C]I, [Em]need this here
[Am]Old train to [G]breakdown
[C]Oh, [Em]please just
[Am]Let me please [G]breakdown [C] [Em] [Am]
[G]I wanna break on [C]down [Em] [Am]
[G]But I cant stop [C]now [Em] [Am] [G]
