Chord The Breakdown by Vincent Mason

Capo: 4th fret Intro Em C D G Verse Em Well, the car broke down in a one stop town C Just before he's 'bout to turn around D G Not a single city limit sign to see where he's at Em When you're out that far you're only options are C Getting gone in the town dive bar D G And if you knew him you'd know he's good at that Pre-Chorus Em D G Well he was looking for peace with every new drink that he'd start C But the words that made him leave B B7 Stuck with him like a scar Chorus Em She said "When I'm with you, life spins around C I can feel us flying so don't look down D G Won't you hold my hand real tight so you don't drop me?" Em C D G She said "There ain't a better time to decide if you want me." Verse Em C Well that bartender saw him and those 11 empty shot glasses So he went and started guessing D G What it was that was tearing him apart Em Well the man said listen my story is kinda different C Pay close attention 'cause you might not get it D G But let's just say it was trouble from the start Pre-Chorus Em D She told me that she loved me G And I should feel so blessed C But the thought of hurting that girl B B7 Scares me half to death Chorus Em He said "When I'm with her life spins around C I can feel us flying but I weigh her down D G If she's got me she'll never get where she needs to go Em C D G She may not see that now but one day she'll know." Verse Em Well the girl back home found that note C Tears started staining all the words he wrote D G While he was tryin' to get that old Ford on the road Em She read his words again and again C He broke her heart with truck keys and a pen D G But she'll keep this letter 'til she's old Pre-Chorus Em D Well I'll just talk to God G And we feel this is best C Trust me if I didn't love you B Or I'da never left Break Em C Truck got fixed Note got flipped D G The breakdown's over but another's setting in Em C And they said hang a left D B 66 will take you west Verse Em But as the years went by life spun back 'round C He's on the knee the last one never found D G Soon there'll be diamond ring and wedding bells Em But she still has nights where her eyes don't close C Breaking down by her porch window D G Hoping some way somehow she can wish him well Pre-Chorus Em D And he's all alone G And nobody knows where C But if he listens real close B B He still hears her in the air Outro Em C D G Em C D G Em C D G Em C D G
