Intro: CEmAmG
CEm I hope this old train breaks down AmG Then I could take a walk around CEm See there's no time to see AmG Time is just a melody C All the people in the street Em Walk as fast as their feet can take them AmG I just roam through town C And though my windows got a view Em but the frame I'm looking through AmG Seems to have no concern for me now
So for now CEm I need this AmG Old train to breakdown CEm Oh please just AmG Let me please breakdown
CEmAmG (2x)
CEm This engine screams out loud AmG Sayin the beat gunna crawl westbound CEm So I don't even make a sound AmG Cause its gunna sting me when I leave this town C All the people in the street Em That I'll never get to meet AmG If these tracks don't bend somehow C And I got no time Em That I got to get to AmG Where I don't need to be
For now
CEm I need this AmG Old train to breakdown CEm Oh please just AmG Let me please breakdown CEm I need this AmG Old train to breakdown CEm Oh please just AmG Let me please breakdown
CEmCEm (2x)
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 dont 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
CEm I need this AmG Old train to breakdown CEm Oh please just AmG Let me please breakdown CEm I need this AmG Old train to breakdown CEm Oh please just AmG Let me please breakdown
