No I'm not colorblind
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 movin' in
I know I can't
But honestly
Won't someone stop this train?
Don't know how else to say it
Don't wanna see my parents go
One generation's length away
From fighting life out on my own
Stop this train

I usually don't transcribe rhythms but in this case, it's a "picked" one,
and the bass notes are important. For each diagonal chord, make a slow down stroke
and quick up stroke (you repeat the high notes).

No I'm not colorblind
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 movin' in
I know I can't
But honestly
Won't someone stop this train?
Don't know how else to say it
Don't wanna 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 movin' 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 renegotiate"
"Don't stop this train"
"Don't for a minute change"
"The place you're in"
"And 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 its 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
Till you cry when you're drivin' away in the dark
Singing
Stop this train
I wanna get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed
It's movin in
I know I can't
'Cause now I see
I'll never stop this train

First lay the edge of your palm on the bridge of the guitar, but not too close to the strings that you
palm mute. Look at the first line of the song VVV, I use my thumb for the 0 on the D
string and my middle finger for the 3 on the B string.

Immediately after playing those two notes in unison, raise your hand off the guitar.
Now this is the hard part: hit the bridge of the guitar with the edge of your palm (not too hard) hard
enough to hear a thud. But at the same time, use the back nailtip of your pointer finger and hit the 2 on
string G.
- FOR VISUALIZATION
open your right hand like you're going to give a high five. now curl the pointer finger down. Try to
hold a pencil in your curled pointer finger. Now remove the pencil and don't move. That is what
finger should look like when it hits the guitar; the back of your nail hits the string.
(Try to be as accurate as possible on the string, but don't worry too much if you accidentally hit
other strings; the strumming effect sounds good in moderation)
Then I play the 0 on the e string with my middle finger, the 0 on the D with my thumb, 3 on B with middle,
and back to the whole raised/palm/nailtip business for the 2 on G.
This general pattern will be repeated throughout most if not all of the song.
FOR SIMPLICITY I will mark all of the raised/palm/nailtip'd notes in the tab with a *, as shown in the tab.
Tuning: Standard

See 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
No I'm not colorblind
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 movin' in
I know I can't
But honestly
Won't someone stop this train?
Don't know how else to say it
Don't wanna 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 movin' 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 renegotiate"
"Don't stop this train"
"Don't for a minute change"
"The place you're in"
"And 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 its 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
Till you cry when you're drivin' away in the dark
Singing
Stop this train
I wanna get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed
It's movin in
I know I can't
'Cause now I see
I'll never stop this train
