G    
No I'm not color blind

I know the world is black and white

Try to keep an open mind but...

G                                                           RIFF
Don't know how else to say it, don't want to see my parents go
G    
One generation's length away

From fighting life out on my own

Gmmaj7      Gm6    Gmmaj7         Gm6    D      Dsus2
Stop this train I want to get off and go home again

But honest - ly won't someone stop this train
 
Interlude -x2-: G  Dsus2 
 
Verse:

G    
So scared of getting older
                       RIFF
I'm only good at being young
G                                                                 RIFF
So I play the numbers game to find away to say that life has just begun
G    
Had a talk with my old man
Gmmaj7   
Said help me understand
D                            E7
He said turn 68, you'll renegotiate
 
Chorus:

      Gmmaj7       
Don't stop this train
                              D   
Don't for a minute change the place you're in
                            E 
Don't think I couldn't ever understand, I tried my hand
      Gsus2    A7       Am7   A         Dsus2        
John, honest - ly we'll never stop this train
 
Bridge:

    G         A               G  
See once in a while when it's good
      Em           G
It'll feel like it should
            A         G  
And they're all still around
           Em             G
And you're still safe and sound
        A            G  
And you don't miss a thing
         Em              D           Am         Em 
'til you cry when you're driving a - way in the dark.
 
Chorus:

        Gmmaj7                                          D   
Singing stop this train I want to get off and go home again
                             E 
I can't take this speed it's moving in, I know I can't
      Gsus2    A7       Am7   A         Dsus2   
Cause now    I see I'll never stop this train
