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
[Refrão]
C Em
I need this
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 tracks dont bend somehow
C
And i got no time
Em
That i got to get to
Am G
Where i dont need to be
[Refrão]
C Em
I need this
Am G
Old train to breakdown
C Em
Oh, please just
Am G
Let me please breakdown
C Em
I, need this here
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
[Refrão]
C Em
I need this
Am G
Old train to breakdown
C Em
Oh, please just
Am G
Let me please breakdown
C Em
I, need this
Am G
Old train to breakdown
C Em
Oh, please just

But i can't stop now
