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