Intro
[Dsus2] [Dmaj13] [Bm9/D] [Asus2/D] x4
Verse 1
[Gmaj]No I’m not color blind
I know the world is black and [Dsus2][Dmaj13][Bm9/D][Asus2/D]white
[Gmaj]Try to keep an open mind but…
I just can’t sleep on this to[Dsus2][Dmaj13][Bm9/D][Asus2/D]night
Chorus
[Gmmaj7]Stop this train I want to get off and go [D/F#]home again
I can’t take the speed it’s moving in, I [E9]know I can’t
[Gsus2/A]But honest[A7]ly won’t [Am7]someone [A9]stop this train
[Dsus2][Dmaj13][Bm9/D][Asus2/D] x2
Verse 2
[Gmaj]Don’t know how else to say it, don’t want to see my parents [Dsus2][Dmaj13][Bm9/D][Asus2/D]go
[Gmaj]One generation’s length away
From fighting life out on my [Dsus2][Dmaj13][Bm9/D][Asus2/D]own
Chorus
[Gmmaj7]Stop this train I want to get off and go [D/F#]home again
I can’t take the speed it’s moving in, I [E9]know I can’t
[Gsus2/A]But honest[A7]ly won’t [Am7]someone [A9]stop this train
[Dsus2][Dmaj13][Bm9/D][Asus2/D] x2
Interlude
[Gmaj] [Dsus2][Dmaj13][Bm9/D][Asus2/D] x2
Verse 3
[Gmaj]So scared of getting older
I’m only good at being [Dsus2][Dmaj13][Bm9/D][Asus2/D]young
[Gmaj]So I play the numbers game to find a way to say
That life has just be[Dsus2][Dmaj13][Bm9/D][Asus2/D]gun
[Gmaj]Had a talk with my old man
[Gm7]Said help me understand
[D/F#]He said turn 68, you’ll re[E7]negotiate
Chorus
[Gmmaj7]Don’t stop this train, don’t for a minute change the [D/F#]place you’re in
Don’t think I couldn’t ever understand, I [E9]tried my hand
[Gsus2/A]John, honest[A7]ly we’ll [Am7]never [A9]stop this train
[Dsus2][Dmaj13][Bm9/D][Asus2/D] x2
Bridge
[G]See once in a [A11]while when it’s [G/B]good
It’ll [Em13/C#]feel like it [G]should
And they’re [A11]all still a[G/B]round
And you’re [Em13/C#]still safe and [G]sound
And you [A11]don’t miss a [G/B]thing
‘Til you [Em13/C#]cry when you’re driving a[Dadd4]way in the [Am9]dark [Em9]
Chorus
[Gmmaj7]Stop this train I want to get off and go [D/F#]home again
I can’t take this speed it’s moving in, I [E9]know I can’t
[Gsus2/A]Cause now I [A7]see I’ll [Am7]never [A9]stop this train
[Dsus2][Dmaj13][Bm9/D][Asus2/D]
