Jack Johnson, Breakdown (2005)
Key: :[C] (w: Jack Johnson, Dan Nakamura, Paul Huston)
INTRO: [C] [Em] [Am] [G] :
[x2]
VERSE 1:
[C] I hope this old
[Em] train breaks down
[Am] then I could take a
[G] walk around
[C] And, see what there
[Em] is to see
[Am] and time is just a
[G] melody
All the
[C] people in the street
walk as
[Em] fast as their feet can take them
[Am] I just roam through
[G] town
and though my
[C] windows got a view
The
[Em] frame im looking through
[Am] seems to have no concern for me
[G] now, so for now
CHORUS:
[C] I,
[Em] need this here,
[Am] old train to
[G] breakdown
[C] Oh,
[Em] please just,
[Am] let me please
[G] breakdown
REPEAT INTRO:
VERSE 2:
[C] This engine
[Em] screams out loud
[Am] sayin the beat gonna
[G] crawl westbound
[C] So I don't even
[Em] make a sound
[Am] cause its gunna sting me when I
[G] leave this town
All the
[C] people in the street, that I'll
[Em] never get to meet
if
[Am] these don't bend some-
[G]-how
And
[C] I got no time, that
[Em] I got to get
to
[Am] where I don't need to
[G] be, so I
REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]
INTERLUDE:
[C] [G] I wanna
[F] break on
[C] down
[G]
But I
[F] can't stop
[C] now
[G]
Let me
[F] break on
[C] down
[G] [F]
BRIDGE 1:
But you
[C] can't stop nothing if you
[Em] got no control
Of the
[Am] thoughts in your mind, that you
[G] kept in, you know
You
[C] don't know nothing, but you
[Em] don't need to know
The
[Am] wisdoms in the trees, not the
[G] glass windows
BRIDGE 2:
You
[C] can't stop wishing if you
[Em] don't let go
But
[Am] things that you find and you
[G] lose, and you know
You
[C] keep on rolling put the
[Em] moment on hold
The
[Am] frames too bright so put the
[G] blinds down low
REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]
OUTRO:
I wanna break on down, but I can't stop now
