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