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