[Chorus]

Gmaj7
Stop this train

                           D
I want to get off and go home again

                              E7
I can't take the speed it's moving in

I know I can't

   Gsus2   A7            Am7   A
But honest-ly, won't someone stop this train?

"Don't stop this train

                                  D
Don't, for a minute, change the place you're in

                                  E7
And don't think I couldn't ever understand

I tried my hand

      Gsus2   A7        Am7    A
John, honest-ly, we'll never stop this train"

[Bridge 2]

  G        A                 G
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 they'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 away in the dark

[Chorus]

           Gmaj7
Singing, "Stop this train

                           D
I want to get off and go home again

                              E7
I can't take the speed it's moving in

I know I can't

         Gsus2  A7         Am7   A
'Cause, now, I see, I'll never stop this train"
