   A(sus2)/G           G      
No, I'm   not colorblind  
   A9/G               A(sus2)/G                 D9        D7+(13)        A(sus2)/D      
 I know the world is black and white  
    A(sus2)/G             G      
 I try to  keep an open mind  
   A9/G                     A(sus2)/G               D9          D7+(13)        A(sus2)/D      
 But I just can't sleep on this tonight  

Chorus: 
   D5+/G            D(sus2)/5+/G       
Stop this train  
   Gm                D(sus2)/5+/G      
 I want to get off  
   D/F#                D9/F#      
 And go home again  
   D/F#        D4/F        D/F#          D9/F#              D5-           D(sus2)/5-      
 I can't take the speed it's moving in  
    D5-           D(sus2)/5-      
 I know I can't  
   A7(sus4)         A7          Am7                  A7(sus2)         A(sus2)/D       
 But honestly, won't someone stop this train?
D9        D7+(13)        A(sus2)/D        (2x)      

   A(sus2)/G            G       
Don't know how else to say it  

   A9/G                    A(sus2)/G             D9        D7+(13)        A(sus2)/D      
 I don't want to see my parents go  

   A(sus2)/G              G      
 One generation's length away  

   A9/G                 A(sus2)/G              D9         D7+(13)        A(sus2)/D      
 From fighting life out on my own  

Chorus:
   D5+/G            D(sus2)/5+/G       
Stop this train  
   Gm                D(sus2)/5+/G     
 I want to get off  
   D/F#                D9/F#      
 And go home again  
   D/F#        D4/F        D/F#          D9/F#              D5-           D(sus2)/5-      
 I can't take the speed it's moving in  
    D5-           D(sus2)/5-      
 I know I can't  
   A7(sus4)         A7          Am7                  A7(sus2)         A(sus2)/D       
 But honestly, won't someone stop this train?
 
    D9        D7+(13)        A(sus2)/D        (2x)      

   A(sus2)/G           G       
So scared of getting older  
   A9/G                    A(sus2)/G          D9        D7+(13)        A(sus2)/D      
 I'm only good at being   young  
   A(sus2)/G             G      
 So I play the numbers game  
   A9/G                              A(sus2)/G            D9        D7+(13)        A(sus2)/D      
 To find a way to say that life has just begun  

   Bm/G       
Had a talk with my old man  
   A#/G      
 Said "help me understand"  
   D/F#      
 He said "turn sixty-eight  
   D5-                  D(sus2)/5-      
 You renegotiate"  

    D5+/G                  D(sus2)/5+/G      
"Don't stop this train  
   Gm            D5+/G         D(sus2)/5+/G          D/F#             D9/F#      
 Don't for   a minute change the place you're in  
   D/F#                D9/F#                  D5-      
 Don't think I couldn't ever understand  
   D5-                D(sus2)/5-      
 I tried my hand  
   A7(sus4)              A7           Am7           A7(sus2)        A(sus2)/D        
 John, honestly we'll never stop    this    train"  

   D9        D7+(13)        A(sus2)/D        (2x)      

   G9             G              G/B       
Once in awhile, when it's good  
   C#m7/9-/5-                  G9      
 It'll feel like it should  
   G                       G/B      
 And they're all still around  
   C#m7/9-/5-                        G9      
 And you're still safe and sound  
   G                     G/B      
 And you don't miss a thing  
   C#m7/9-/5-                       D(sus4)/5+        Am9                Em(6)(9)      
 Till you cry when you're driving    away in the dark  
 Singing  


Chorus:
   D5+/G            D(sus2)/5+/G       
Stop this train  
   Gm                D(sus2)/5+/G      
 I want to get off  
   D/F#                D9/F#      
 And go home again  
   D/F#        D4/F        D/F#          D9/F#              D5-           D(sus2)/5-      
 I can't take the speed it's moving in  
    D5-           D(sus2)/5-      
 I know I can't  
   A7(sus4)         A7          Am7                  A7(sus2)         A(sus2)/D       
 But honestly, won't someone stop this train?

   D9        D7+(13)        A(sus2)/D     

END!
