Intro 
Dsus2


Verse 1
Gadd7
No I'm not color blind 
                              Dsus2
I know the world is black and white
Gadd7
Try to keep an open mind but...
                           Dsus2
I just can't sleep on this tonight


Chorus
Gmmaj7                                   D/F#
Stop this train I want to get off and go home again
                            E9
I can't take the speed it's moving in, I know I can't
    Gsus2/A      A7       Am7     A9        Dsus2
But honest   -   ly won't someone stop this train


Verse 2
Gadd7                                                       Dsus2
Don't know how else to say it, don't want to see my parents go
Gadd7
One generation's length away
                             Dsus2
From fighting life out on my own


Chorus
Gmmaj7                                   D/F#
Stop this train I want to get off and go home again
                            E9
I can't take the speed it's moving in, I know I can't
    Gsus2/A      A7       Am7     A9        Dsus2
But honest   -   ly won't someone stop this train


Interlude
Gadd7   Dsus2  X2 


Verse 3
Gadd7
So scared of getting older
                       Dsus2
I'm only good at being young
Gadd7                                                             Dsus2
So I play the numbers game to find away to say that life has just begun
Gadd7
Had a talk with my old man
Gm7
Said help me understand
D/F#                         E7
He said turn 68, you'll renegotiate


Chorus
      Gmmaj7
Don't stop this train
                              D/F#
Don't for a minute change the place you're in
                            E9
Don't think I couldn't ever understand, I tried my hand
      Gsus2/A      A7       Am7   A9        Dsus2        
John, honest   -   ly we'll never stop this train


Bridge
    G         A11             G/B
See once in a while when it's good
      Em13/C#      G
It'll feel like it should
            A11       G/B
And they're all still around
           Em13/C#        G
And you're still safe and sound
        A11          G/B
And you don't miss a thing
         Em13/C#         Dadd4       Am9        Em9
'til you cry when you're driving a - way in the dark.


Chorus
        Gmmaj7                                   D/F#
Singing stop this train I want to get off and go home again
                             E9
I can't take this speed it's moving in, I know I can't
      Gsus2/A    A7       Am7   A9        Dsus2   
Cause now      I see I'll never stop this train
