BREAKDOWN JACK JOHNSON Capo 5th Fret G Bm Em D (x2) G Bm I hope this old train breaks down Em D Then I could take a walk around G Bm And, see what there is to see Em D And time is just a melody G With all the people in the street Bm Walk as fast as their feet can take them Em D I just roll through town G And though my window's got a view, well Bm The frame Im looking through Em D Seems to have no concern for now, so for now Chorus: G G/F# I need this Em D Old train to breakdown G G/F# Oh please just Em D Let me please breakdown G Bm Em D (x2) G Bm This engine screams out loud Em D Centipede gonna crawl westbound G Bm So I don't even make a sound Em D It's gunna sting me when I leave this town G All the people in the street Bm That I'll never get to meet Em D If these tracks don't bend somehow G And I got no time Bm That I got to get to Em D Where I don't need to be, so I Chorus G D C G I wanna break on down But I cant stop now Let me break on down D C G But you cant stop nothing Bm If you got no control Em Of the thoughts in your mind D That you kept in, you know G You don't know nothing Bm But you don't need to know Em The wisdoms in the trees D Not the glass windows G You cant stop wishing Bm If you don't let go Em But things that you find D And you lose, and you know G You keep on rolling Bm Put the moment on hold Em The frames too bright D So put the blinds down low Chorus G Bm Em D I wanna break on down G Bm Em D But I cant stop now G Bm Em D G Bm Em D G G/F# = 2x0033 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The song can be played without capo by transposing to C major.
