[Intro] 
Dsus2 Dmaj13 Bm9/D Asus2/D  x4
[Verse 1]
Gmaj
No I'm not color blind 
                                   Dsus2 Dmaj13 Bm9/D Asus2/D
I know the world is black and white
Gmaj
Try to keep an open mind but...
                                  Dsus2 Dmaj13 Bm9/D Asus2/D
I just can't sleep on this tonight
[Chorus]
Gmmaj7                                   D/F#
Stop this train I want to get off and go home again
                            E9
I can't take the speed it's moving in, I know I can't
    Gsus2/A      A7       Am7     A9        (Dsus2 Dmaj13 Bm9/D Asus2/D) x2
But honest   -   ly won't someone stop this train
[Verse 2]
Gmaj                                                          Dsus2 Dmaj13 Bm9/D Asus2/D
Don't know how else to say it, don't want to see my parents go
Gmaj
One generation's length away
                                 Dsus2 Dmaj13 Bm9/D Asus2/D
From fighting life out on my own
[Chorus]
Gmmaj7                                   D/F#
Stop this train I want to get off and go home again
                            E9
I can't take the speed it's moving in, I know I can't
    Gsus2/A      A7       Am7     A9        (Dsus2 Dmaj13 Bm9/D Asus2/D) x2
But honest   -   ly won't someone stop this train
[Interlude]
Gmaj   Dsus2 Dmaj13 Bm9/D Asus2/D  x2
[Verse 3] 
Gmaj
So scared of getting older
                       Dsus2 Dmaj13 Bm9/D Asus2/D
I'm only good at being young
Gmaj                                                          Dsus2 Dmaj13 Bm9/D Asus2/D
So I play the numbers game to find away to say that life has just begun
Gmaj
Had a talk with my old man
Gm7
Said help me understand
D/F#                 E7
He said turn 68, you'll renegotiate
[Chorus]
      Gmmaj7
Don't stop this train
                              D/F#
Don't for a minute change the place you're in
                            E9
Don't think I couldn't ever understand, I tried my hand
      Gsus2/A      A7       Am7   A9        (Dsus2 Dmaj13 Bm9/D Asus2/D) x2        
John, honest   -   ly we'll never stop this train
[Bridge]
    G         A11             G/B
See once in a while when it's good
      Em13/C#      G
It'll feel like it should
            A11       G/B
And they're all still around
           Em13/C#        G
And you're still safe and sound
        A11          G/B
And you don't miss a thing
         Em13/C#         Dadd4       Am9        Em9
'til you cry when you're driving a - way in the dark.
[Chorus]
        Gmmaj7                                   D/F#
Singing stop this train I want to get off and go home again
                             E9
I can't take this speed it's moving in, I know I can't
      Gsus2/A    A7       Am7   A9        Dsus2 Dmaj13 Bm9/D Asus2/D   
Cause now      I see I'll never stop this train
