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