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