[Verse 1]
C                Em/B
I hope this old train breaks down
Am                  G
Then I could take a walk around
C                    Em/B
And, see what there is to see
Am                  G
And time is just a melody
C                    
All the people in the street
Em/B
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/B                  
The frame im looking through
Am                              G
Seems to have no concern for me now
[Chorus]
So for now
C   Em/B
I, need this here
Am           G
Old train to breakdown
C    Em/B
Oh, please just
Am             G
Let me please breakdown
[Verse 2]
C            Em/B
This engine screams out loud
Am              G
Sayin the beat gunna crawl westbound
C               Em/B
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/B
That i'll never get to meet
   Am               G
If these dont bend somehow
C
And I got no time
Em/B
That I got to get to
Am                   G
Where I dont need to be
[Chorus]
So I
C  Em/B
I, need this here
Am           G
Old train to breakdown
C    Em/B
Oh, please just
Am             G
Let me please breakdown
C   Em/B
I, need this here
Am             G
Old train to breakdown
C    Em/B
Oh, please just
Am              G
Let me please breakdown
[Bridge]
C  G            F         C
     I wanna break on down
G         F        C
  But I cant stop now
G            F          C    G F
    Let me break on down
[Verse 3]
C
But you cant stop nothing
Em/B
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/B
But you dont need to know
Am
The wisdoms in the trees
G
Not the glass windows
C
You cant stop wishing
Em/B
If you dont let go
Am
But things that you find
G
And you lose, and you know
C
You keep on rolling
Em/B
Put the moment on hold
Am
The frames too bright
G
So put the blinds down low
[Verse 4]
C   Em/B
I, need this here
Am           G
Old train to breakdown
C    Em/B
Oh, please just
Am             G
Let me please breakdown
C   Em/B
I, need this here
Am             G
Old train to breakdown
C    Em/B
Oh, please just
Am              G
Let me please breakdown
