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