Jawbreaker es un grupo de música punk de San Francisco. Esta banda influyo mucho en la escena Punk Rock de Los Angeles.
El grupo tenía raíces en Los Ángeles, donde los integrantes Blake Schwarzenbach y Adam Pfahler, estudiaron en el Instituto Crossroads juntos, y también en Nueva York, donde Schwarzenbach y Pfahler conocieron al bajista Chris Bauermeister en la Universidad de Nueva York en 1988. El grupo se regía por la filosofía DIY, que pusieron en práctica al gestionarse ellos mismos sin necesidad de manager.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!

[Verse] GEB (p) C (p) We stood in your room and laughed out loud GEAC Suddenly the laughter died, we were caught in an eye to eye GEB (p) C (p) We sat on the floor and did we sit close GE I could smell your thoughts and thought, AC "Do you want to touch a lot like me?" GCG Too scared to say a thing
[Pre-chorus] B (p) C (p) Left your house and kicked myself E (p) D (p) C Put those feelings on a shelf to die B (p) C (p) Guess I'm not the gambling type E (p) D (p) C Think of what the two of us had lost Had lost
[Verse] I needed some time to think it out 7-Eleven parking lot, a toothless woman turned and stopped Gave her a dime and a Chesterfield She leaned down and kissed my cheek I was scared but it felt sweet Felt so sweet
[Pre-chorus] She asked me if I had a name Told her I was glued up on some chick We sat and smoked against the wall Drank a beer, felt the chill of fall Of fall
[Chorus] GF#/GEDC I took my car and drove it down the hill by your house BA I drove so fast GF#/GEDC The wind it couldn't cool me down so I turned it around BA And came back up GF#/GED You were waiting on your step, steam chilling off your CBA breath and water in your eyes GF#/GED We pulled each other into one, parkas clinging on the CBD lawn, and kissed right there
[Pre-chorus] Said my chicks all smoke these things Handed you a Chesterfield King Held your hand and watched TV Traced the little lines along your palm Your palm
[Repeat chorus]
[Play chorus progression once, palm muting all chords]
