Lyrics

[Intro]
| C | G6/B | Am | G |
| C | G6/B | Am | G |

[Verse 1]
C                G6/B
 I hope this old train breaks down
Am                    G
  Then I could take a walk around
C               G6/B
 See what there is  to see
Am               G
  Time is just a melody
             C
With all the people in the street
           G6/B
Walking as fast as their feet can take them
Am                     G
I just roll through town
              C
And though my window's got a view
         G6/B
Well the frame I'm looking through
         Am                     G
Seems to have no concern for now so for now I

[Chorus]
C  G6/B          Am             G
 I need this here  old train to breakdown
C   G6/B       Am              G
 Oh please just  let me please breakdown

[Interlude]
| C | G6/B | Am | G |
| C | G6/B | Am | G |

[Verse 2]
C                 G6/B
 Well this engine screams out loud
Am                G
  Centipede gonna crawl westbound
C                G6/B
 So I don't even make a sound
       Am                           G
Because  it's gonna sting me when I leave this town
            C
And all the people in the street
          G6/B
That I'll never get to meet
      Am                          G
If these tracks don't bend somehow
    C                   G6/B
And I got no time that I    got to get
      Am                   G
To where I don't need to be so I

[Chorus]
C  G6/B          Am             G
 I need this here  old train to breakdown
C   G6/B       Am              G
 Oh please just  let me please breakdown
C  G6/B          Am             G
 I need this here  old train to breakdown
C   G6/B       Am              G
 Oh please just  let me please breakdown

[Post-Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
G
F        C                         G6/B
 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                          G6/B
You don't know nothing but you don't need to know
    Am                            G
The wisdom's in the trees not the glass windows
    C                         G6/B
You can't stop wishing if you don't let go
    Am                           G
The things that you find and you lose and you know
    C
You keep on rolling,
        G6/B
put the moment on hold
    Am
The frame's too bright,
           G
so put the blinds down low

[Chorus]
C  G6/B          Am             G
 I need this here  old train to breakdown
C   G6/B       Am              G
 Oh please just  let me please breakdown
C  G6/B          Am             G
 I need this here  old train to breakdown
C   G6/B       Am              G
 Oh please just  let me please breakdown

[Outro]
C G6/B Am G                      C
           I want to break on down
G6/B Am G                     C
         But I can't stop now .
