BREAKIN' DOWN
As recorded by Graham Barham
(From the 2023 EP NORTH OF HELL)
Capo 4th fret
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D
This Chevy's seen some better days
D
This engine keeps on findin' ways
G
To slow down and run out
G
Of unleaded 87
D
Them bullet-hole rims are holdin' rust
D
That windshield crack keeps crawlin' up
G
The tread's about dead
A
Like there ain't many good years left
[Chorus]
G
There's a few things on the road right now
D A
Gettin' damn close to breakin' down
G
Runnin' outta steam on the edge of town
D A
And feelin' way too far gone
G
If you see an old boy on the side of the road
D A
Holdin' up a hood that's blowin' up smoke
G
And swearin' up at the clouds
Bm A G D
It's just me and this heart and this truck breakin' down
[Verse 2]
D
Still see green eyes in the rearview mirror
A
Regrettin' everything that got me here
G
Wishin' I could call, say it's all my fault
A
But I know it won't help at all
[Chorus]
G
There's a few things on the road right now
D A
Gettin' damn close to breakin' down
G
Runnin' outta steam on the edge of town
D A
And feelin' way too far gone
G
If you see an old boy on the side of the road
D A
Holdin' up a hood that's blowin' up smoke
G
And swearin' up at the clouds
Bm A G
It's just me and this heart and this truck breakin' down
[Post-Chorus]
D Bm7 A
Oh, oh, oh
[Bridge]
Bm
I'm sittin' on I-20
A
Everything runnin' on empty
G
Kickin' myself for leavin'
A
Yeah, I need to turn around
[Chorus]
G
'Cause there's a few things on the road right now
D A
Gettin' damn close to breakin' down
G
Runnin' outta steam on the edge of town
D A
And feelin' way too far gone
G
If you see an old boy on the side of the road
D A
Holdin' up a hood that's blowin' up smoke
G
And swearin' up at the clouds
Bm A G
It's just me and this heart and this truck breakin' down
[Outro]
D
