Chords for The Breakdown

_ _ [Abm] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
[Abm] But his car broke down in a one-stop [E] town Just before it's about to turn [Gb] around
Not a single city limit sign [B] to see where he's at
[Abm] When you're out there far, your only options [E] are Getting gone in the town, die [Gb] far
And if you knew him, you'd know [B] he's good at that _
[Abm] Well, he was looking for [Gb] a piece of every new [B] drink that he'd store _
[E] But the words that made him leave [Eb] stuck with him like a scar
_ _ _ [Abm] She said, when I'm with you, life spins [E] around I can feel us flying, so don't look [Gb] down
Won't you hold my hand real tight, [B] so you don't drop me
She [Abm] said, there ain't a better time to decide [E] if you want me
[Gb] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [Abm] Well, that boy turned to saw him in those [E] 11 empty shot glasses
So he went and started [Gb] guessing what it was that was tearing [B] him apart
_ [Abm] Well, the man said, listen, my story's kinda [E] different
Pay close attention, cause you might not [Gb] get it
Let's just say it was trouble [B] from the start
She _ [Abm] told me [Gb] that she loved me, [B] and now she feels so blessed
[E] But the thought of hurting that girl [Eb] scares me half to death _ _
[Abm] She said, when I'm with her, life spins [E] around I can feel us flying, but I'll weigh her [Gb] down
She's got me, she'll never get where she [B] needs to go
She [Abm] may not see that now, but one [E] day she'll know
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
[Abm] Well, the girl back home found that you [E] know
Tears started staining all the words he [Gb] wrote
While he was trying to get that old fool [B] on the road _
[Abm] She said his words again and [E] again, he broke her heart with drug keys and a [Gb] pen
But she'll keep this line [B] until she's home
[Abm] Well, I just [Gb] talked to God, [B] and we feel this is best
[E] Trust me, if I didn't love you, [Eb] I'd have [Bb] never [Eb] left
_ _ _ [Abm] _ Drug [E] got fixed, and old [Gb] guy flipped
The [B] breakdown's over, but another [Ab] set in
They [E] said, hang [Gb] a little, and 66 [Eb] will take you west
_ _ _ _ But as [G] the years went by, life spun [E] back around
He's on the knee, the last one ever [Gb] found
Soon there'll be diamond [Ab] ring and wedding [B] bells _
[Abm] But she still has nights where her [E] eyes don't close
Breaking down by her porch [Db] window
Hoping some [Gb] way, somehow, she can [B] wish him well _
_ [Abm] He's [Gb] all alone, [B] and nobody knows where
[E] But if he listens real close, [Eb] he's living his dream, yeah
