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