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