{Intro} 

/C    Am  /Em    /Am    /G    /


{Verse 1}

C           Am               Em
I Hope this old train breaks down

Am                  G
Then I could take a walk around

C        Am          Em
See what there is to see

Am             G
Time is just a melody

             C                    Am      Em
With all the people in the street walking fast as there feet

               Am                    G
Can take them, I just stroll through town

              C                   Am             Em
And though my windows got a view, well the frame Im looking through

         Am                     G
Seems to have no concern for us now,

 
{Chorus 1}

C C/B        Am           G
I need this, old train to breakdown

C   C/B          Am          G
Oh, please just, let me just breakdown


/C    Am  /Em    /Am    /G    / x2


{Verse2}

C                Em
Well this engine screams out loud

Am                 G
Centipede going to crawl Westbound

C              Em
So I dont even make a sound 'cos

Am                               G
Its all going to sting me when I leave this town

            C                    Am        Em
And all the people in the street that I'll never get to meet

   Am                           G
If these tracks don't bend some-how

    C             Am     Em                   Am                  G
And I got no time that I got to get to where, I don't need to be, So I


{Chorus 2}


C C/B        Am           G
I need this, old train to breakdown

C   C/B          Am          G
Oh, please just, let me just breakdown


C C/B        Am           G
I need this, old train to breakdown

C   C/B          Am          G
Oh, please just, let me just breakdown



{Bridge} 

C       G         F        C
        I want to break on down

G     F          C
But I can't stop now

G      F        C
Let me break on down


{Verse 3}

G-F

F       C                         Em
But you can't stop nothing if you got no control

       Am                             G
Of the thoughts in your mind that you kept and you know

    C                          Em
You don't know nothing but you don't need know

    Am                           G
The wisdoms in the trees not the glass windows

    C                         Em
You can't stop wishing if you dont let go 

       Am                           G
Of the things that you find and you lose you know

    C                        Em
You keep on rolling, put the moment on hold

    Am                            G
The frames too bright, so put the blinds down low



{Chorus 3, As Chorus 2}


{Outro}

/C       /Em      /Am      /


G                  C      /Em      /Am      /
I want to break on down

G                C        /Em      /Am      / G
But I can't stop now


/C       /Em      /Am      /G       /C   //
