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