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
