STOP THIS TRAIN BY JOHN MAYER- A GUITAR COVER

Good day, fellow hivers.

A couple of weeks ago, I posted a video of me playing the guitar part of a John Mayer song titled "stop this train" on my blog. I got some positive comments on the video and one of them, @josewilchez, asked me to play and post the full song.

The guitar part of this song is complex enough to play and attempting to sing along while I played proved to be quite difficult.
The fact that I just recently learned the lyrics to the song did not serve me too well as I forgot the lyrics at some point. But Al in all, I think it was a good attempt.

The song is about being scared of getting older and the uncertainties that come with it.

Here are the lyrics of the song.

No, I'm not colorblind
I know the world is black and white
I try to keep an open mind
But I just can't sleep on this tonight
Stop this train
I want to 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
I'm one generation's length away
From fighting life out on my own
Oh, come on, stop this train
I want to 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?
I'm so scared of getting older
I'm only good at being young
So I play the numbers game
To find a way to say my life has just begun
Had a talk with my old man
Said, "Help me understand"
He said "Turn 68, oh, you'll re-negotiate"
"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"
Oh, now, 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, yeah
Singing
Stop this train
I want to get off and go back home again
I can't take the speed this thing moving in
I know I can't
'Cause now I see, I'm never gonna stop this train
Never gonna stop this train
Oh, I'm never gonna stop this train
Oh, I'm never gonna stop this train
Oh, I'm never gonna stop this train
Thank you
How you feel tonight? You ready to hear alot of music
