Title: Breakdown


Capo on 5th fret


          (x2)

                
I hope this old train breaks down
                   
Then I could take a walk around
                   
And, see what there is to see
                  
And time is just a melody

               
With all the people in the street
                            
Walk as fast as their feet can take them
                   
I just roll through town

               
And though my window's got a view, well
      
The frame Im looking through
                            
Seems to have no concern for now, so for now


Chorus:

  
I need this
              
Old train to breakdown
  
Oh please just
              
Let me please breakdown

          (x2)

             
This engine screams out loud
                
Centipede gonna crawl westbound
                
So I don't even make a sound
                          
It's gunna sting me when I leave this town
         
All the people in the street
           
That I'll never get to meet
                              
If these tracks don't bend somehow
    
And I got no time
     
That I got to get to
                    
Where I don't need to be, so I


Chorus

  
                
I wanna break on down
But I cant stop now
Let me break on down

    
  
         
But you cant stop nothing
       
If you got no control
         
Of the thoughts in your mind
          
That you kept in, you know
     
You don't know nothing
        
But you don't need to know
     
The wisdoms in the trees
          
Not the glass windows

     
You cant stop wishing
        
If you don't let go
     
But things that you find
         
And you lose, and you know
     
You keep on rolling
        
Put the moment on hold
      
The frames too bright
             
So put the blinds down low

Chorus

         
                I wanna break on down
         
                But I cant stop now
