Stop This Train

C9
No, I'm not colorblind
                                 G
I know the world is black and white
C9
I try to keep an open mind
                                   G
But I just can't sleep on this tonight

Am7
Stop this train

I want to get off
        G
And go home again
                            Am7
I can't take the speed it's moving in

I know I can't
    C9                 Dm7                G
But honestly, won't someone stop this train?

C9
Don't know how else to say it
                               G
I don't want to see my parents go
C9
One generation's length away
                              G
From fighting life out on my own

Am7
Stop this train

I want to get off
        G
And go home again
                             Am7
I can't take the speed it's moving in

I know I can't
     C9                 Dm7                G
But honestly, won't someone stop this train?

C9
So scared of getting older
                          G
I'm only good at being young
C9
So I play the numbers game
                                    G
To find a way to say that life has just begun

C9
Had a talk with my old man
Am7
Said: Help me understand
G
He said: Turn sixty-eight
Dm7
You renegotiate

C9
Don't stop this train
                               G
Don't for a minute change the place you're in
                              Am7
Don't think I couldn't ever understand

I tried my hand
         C9             Am7   Dm7       G
John, honestly, we'll never stop this train

C9
Once in awhile, when it's good
                     Am7
It'll feel like it should

And they're all still around
                           C9
And you're still safe and sound

And you don't miss a thing
                           G       Dm7       Am7
Till you cry when you're driving away in the dark

Singing

G9
Stop this train

I want to get off
         G
And go home again
                              C9
I can't take the speed it's moving in

I know I can't
              Am7        Dm7              G
'Cause now I see I will never stop this train
