Capo on 5th fret
[Intro]
G Bm Em D
G Bm Em D
[Verse]
G Bm
I hope this old train breaks down
Em D
Then I could take a walk around
G Bm
And, see what there is to see
Em D
And time is just a melody
G
With all the people in the street
Bm
Walk as fast as their feet can take them
Em D
I just roll through town
G
And though my window's got a view, well
Bm
The frame Im looking through
Em D
Seems to have no concern for now, so for now
[Chorus]
G G/F#
I need this
Em D
Old train to breakdown
G G/F#
Oh please just
Em D
Let me please breakdown
[Instrumental]
G Bm Em D
G Bm Em D
[Verse]
G Bm
This engine screams out loud
Em D
Centipede gonna crawl westbound
G Bm
So I don't even make a sound
Em D
It's gunna sting me when I leave this town
G
All the people in the street
Bm
That I'll never get to meet
Em D
If these tracks don't bend somehow
G
And I got no time
Bm
That I got to get to
Em D
Where I don't need to be, so I
[Chorus]
G
D C G
I wanna break on down
But I cant stop now
Let me break on down
[Instrumental]
D C
[Verse]
G
But you cant stop nothing
Bm
If you got no control
Em
Of the thoughts in your mind
D
That you kept in, you know
G
You don't know nothing
Bm
But you don't need to know
Em
The wisdoms in the trees
D
Not the glass windows
G
You cant stop wishing
Bm
If you don't let go
Em
But things that you find
D
And you lose, and you know
G
You keep on rolling
Bm
Put the moment on hold
Em
The frames too bright
D
So put the blinds down low
[Chorus]
G Bm Em D
I wanna break on down
G Bm Em D
But I cant stop now
[Outro]
G Bm Em D
