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