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