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