Stop this train
                           D
I want to get off and go home again

I can't take the speed it's moving in
 
I know I can't
   Gsus2   A7            Am7   A
But honest-ly, won't someone stop this train?

Don't, for a minute, change the place you're in
                                  E7
And don't think I couldn't ever understand
 
I tried my hand

John, honest-ly, we'll never stop this train"

[Bridge 2]
  G        A                 G
Once in a while, when it's good
        Em            G
It'll feel like it should
              A          G
And they're all still around
               Em            G
And they're still safe and sound
          A            G
And you don't miss a thing
          Em                D       Am         Em
'Til you cry when you're driving away in the dark
 
 
[Chorus]
           Gmaj7
Singing, "Stop this train
                           D
I want to get off and go home again
                              E7
I can't take the speed it's moving in
 
I know I can't
         Gsus2  A7         Am7   A
'Cause, now, I see, I'll never stop this train"
