[Verse 1]
Gmaj7
     No, I'm not color blind
                                   Dsus2
I know the world is black and white
Gmaj7
     Try to keep an open mind
                                       Dsus2
But I just can't sleep on this, tonight

[Chorus]
Gm6
Stop this train
                         D/F#
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
     A7sus4
But, honestly,
A7      Am7     A7sus2           Dsus2
  won't someone stop  this train?

[Verse 2]
Gmaj7
     Don't know how else to say it
                               Dsus2
Don't want to see my parents go
Gmaj7
     One generation's length away
                                Dsus2
From fighting life out on my own

[Chorus]
Gm6
Stop this train
                         D/F#
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
     A7sus4
But, honestly,
A7      Am7     A7sus2           Dsus2
  won't someone stop  this train?

[Verse 3]
Gmaj7
     So scared of getting older
                       Dsus2 Gmaj7
I'm only good at being young
So I play the numbers game
                               Dsus2          Gmaj7
To find a way to say that life has  just begun

[Bridge]
                          Gm7
Had a talk with my old man
                          D/F#
Said, "Help me understand"
                         E7
He said, "Turn sixtyeight
You'll renegotiate"

[Chorus]
Gm6
"Don't stop this train
                          D/F#
Don't for a minute change the place you're in
                            E7
And don't think I couldn't ever understand
               A7sus4
I tried my hand
        A7      Am7     A7sus2       Dsus2
John, honestly, we'll never stop this

Once in a while, when it's good

It'll feel like it should

Singing, stop this train

I want to get off    and go home again
