Verse

We could be here all night long...all night

This is a brokedown melody for the wooodshed

C Em

I hope this old train breaks down

Am G

And i could take a walk around

You see there's no time you see

Cause time is just melody

With all the people in the street

Walking fast as their feet can take them

I might just roll through town

And though my window's got a view

The frame i'm lookin through

Seems to have no concern for miles

For now I

I need this

Old train to breakdown

Oh please just

Let me please breakdown

Well this engine screams out loud

Sayin the P gonna crawl westbound

And i don't even make a sound cuz

Gonna sting me when i leave this town

All the people in the street

That i never get to meet

These tracks gonna bend somehow

And i got no time

That i got to get

To where i don't need to be, so i

I need this

Old train to breakdown

Oh please just

Let me please breakdown

Break on down

Intro C G F

I gotta break on down

(one strum on C and pause, then Am)

C

But you can't stop nothin

If you got no control

Am

Of the thoughts in your mind

That you kept and you know

C

That you don't know nothin

But you don't need to know

Am

The wisdom's in the trees

Not the glass window's

(Then back to normal)

You can't stop wishin

If you dont let go

Of the things that you find

And you lose and you know

You keep on rollin

Put the moment on hold

But the frames still bright

With the blinds down low

And I need this

Old train to breakdown

Oh please just

Let me please breakdown

I need this

Old train to breakdown

Oh please just

Let me just breakdown F G

(then back to regular chords)

Oh, let me break on
