Chords

[Intro] (x2) C Em Am G [Verse]
C                Em
I hope this old train breaks down

Am            G
Then I could take a walk around

C              Em
And, see what there is to see

Am                   G
  And time is just a melody

C
All the people in the street

          Em
Walk as fast as their feet can take them

Am                  G
I just roll through town

              C
And though my windows got a view

     Em
The frame I'm looking through

         Am                  G
Seems to have no concern for now, so for now
[Chorus]
C  C/B
I need this

Am              G
Old train to breakdown

Oh please just

Am             G
Let me please breakdown
[Instrumental] (x2) C Em Am G [Verse]
C            Em
This engine screams out loud

Am               G
Centipede gonna crawl westbound

C                Em
So I don't even make a sound

Am                                G
Cause it's gonna sting me when I leave this town

          C
All the people in the street

           Em
That I'll never get to meet

          Am                   G
If these tracks don't bend somehow

    C
And I got no time

     Em
That I got to get to

Am                    G
Where I don't need to be, so I
[Chorus]

[Bridge] C
G  (strum twice)   F  (strum twice)    C
I wanna           break on            down

G  (strum twice)   F  (strum twice)    C
But I            Can't stop            now

G  (strum twice)   F  (strum twice)    C
Let me           break on            down
[Instrumental] G F [Verse]
          C
But you cant stop nothing

       Em
If you got no control

         Am
Of the thoughts in your mind

          G
That you kept in, you know

     C
You don't know nothing

         Em
But you don't need to know

     Am
The wisdoms in the trees

         G
Not the glass windows

     C
You cant stop wishing

        Em
If you don't let go

     Am
But things that you find

         G
And you lose, and you know

     C
You keep on rolling

         Em
Put the moment on hold

     Am
The frames too bright

             G
So put the blinds down low
[Chorus]
C  C/B
I need this

Am              G

I need this

Am              G

Oh please just

Am             G
Let me please breakdown

C                 Em
I wanna break on down

Am              G
But I cant stop now
