[Verse 1]
Dadd4/G            G
        No I'm not color blind
Gadd9              G6add9
        I know the world is black and white
 
Dsus2  Dmaj13  Bm9/D  Asus2/D
 
Dadd4/G                G
        Try to keep an open mind but...
Gadd9        G6add9
        I just can't sleep on this tonight
 
Dsus2  Dmaj13  Bm9/D  Asus2/D
 
 
[Chorus]
 
GmM7      Gm6      GmM7 Gm GmM7 Gm6       D/F#    Dsus2/F#
Stop this train, I want to get off and go home again
   D/F# Dsus4/F# D/F# Dsus2/F# D/F#
I can't take     the speed     it's
E7 E9  E7
Moving in
E9       E7
I know I can't
    A7sus4 A7        Am7     A7sus2
But honest -ly won't someone stop this train
 
Dsus2  Dmaj13  Bm9/D  Asus2/D
Dsus2  Dmaj13  Bm9/D  Asus2/D
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Dadd4/G                G
        Don't know how else to say it
Gadd9                 G6add9
        Don't want to see my parents go
 
Dsus2  Dmaj13  Bm9/D  Asus2/D
 
Dadd4/G          G
        One generation's length away
Gadd9               G6add9
      From fighting life out on my own
 
Dsus2  Dmaj13  Bm9/D  Asus2/D
 
 
[Chorus]
 
GmM7      Gm6      GmM7 Gm GmM7 Gm6       D/F#    Dsus2/F#
Stop this train, I want to get off and go home again
   D/F# Dsus4/F# D/F# Dsus2/F# D/F#
I can't take     the speed     it's
E7 E9  E7
Moving in
E9       E7
I know I can't
    A7sus4 A7        Am7     A7sus2
But honest -ly won't someone stop this train
 
Dsus2  Dmaj13  Bm9/D  Asus2/D
Dsus2  Dmaj13  Bm9/D  Asus2/D
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
Dadd4/G  G   Gadd9  G6add9
Dsus2  Dmaj13  Bm9/D  Asus2/D
Dadd4/G  G   Gadd9  G6add9
Dsus2  Dmaj13  Bm9/D  Asus2/D
 
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
Dadd4/G              G  
       So scared of getting older
Gadd9           G6add9
       I'm only good at being young
 
Dsus2  Dmaj13  Bm9/D  Asus2/D
 
Dadd4/G              G*
       So I play the numbers game to
Gadd9        G6add9
Find away to say that life has just begun
 
Dsus2  Dmaj13  Bm9/D  Asus2/D
 
[Bridge 1]
GmM7
     Had a talk with my old man
Bb/G
     Said help me understand
D/F#
     He said turn 68
E7
     You'll renegotiate
 
 
[Chorus]
 
      GmM7      Gm6    GmM7        Gm6               D/F#         Dsus2/F#
Don't stop this train, don't for a minute change the place you're in
D/F#
Don't think I couldn't ever
E7            E9       E7
Understand, I tried my hand
     A7sus4 A7         Am7   A7sus2
John honest -ly, we'll never stop this train
 
Dsus2  Dmaj13  Bm9/D  Asus2/D

[Bridge 2]
 
G         A7              G/B
Once in a while when it's good
      A/C#*        G
It'll feel like it should
            A7        G/B
And they're all still around
           A/C#           G
And you're still safe and sound
         A7          G/B
And you don't miss a thing
         A/C#            D        Am7        Em9
'til you cry when you're driving away in the dark.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
        GmM7      Gm6      GmM7 Gm GmM7 Gm6       D/F#    Dsus2/F#
Singin' stop this train, I want to get off and go home again
   D/F# Dsus4/F# D/F# Dsus2/F# D/F#
I can't take     the speed     it's
E7 E9  E7
Moving in
E9       E7
I know I can't
      A7sus4 A7        Am7   A7sus2
Cause now I  see, I'll never stop this train
 
Dsus2  Dmaj13  Bm9/D  Asus2/D
Dsus2  Dmaj13  Bm9/D  Asus2/D
 
 
[Outro]
Dsus2  Dmaj13  Bm9/D  Asus2/D
Dsus2  Dmaj13  Bm9/D  Asus2/D
              No, I'm not color blind
I know the world is black and white
Try to keep an open mind
But I just can't sleep on this tonight

Stop this train
I wanna get off and go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
But, honestly, won't someone stop this train?

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

Stop this train
I wanna get off and go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
But, honestly, won't someone stop this train?

So scared of getting older
I'm only good at being young
So I play the numbers game to find a way to say that life has just begun
Had a talk with my old man
Said, "Help me understand."
He said, "Turn 68
You'll renegotiate
Don't stop this train
Don't for a minute change the place you're in
Don't think I couldn't ever understand
I tried my hand
John, honestly, we'll never stop this train"

Once in a while when it's good
It'll feel like it should
And they're all still around
And you're still safe and sound
And you don't miss a thing
'Til you cry when you're driving away in the dark

Singing, "Stop this train
I wanna get off and go home again
I can't take this speed it's moving in
I know I can't
'Cause now I see I'll never stop this train"

(Think I got 'em now)
