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