Biography:
Jeremy Messersmith is an American indie pop musician, based in Minneapolis.
Messersmith is not only a musician is half-truth, but also a storyteller. His first full-length release The Alcatraz Kid is a moving collection of acoustic-driven lullabies with titles like “Novocain” and “Beautiful Children” that innocently question the purpose of things to come. The integrity of these delicate songs immediately struck a chord with critics and fans alike

"Breaking Down" by Jeremy Messersmith
http://www.myspace.com/jeremymessersmith
My favorite song by one of my favorite hometown musicians.
Here is the basic progression in the original key of G.
Not hard at all, lovely song though. Great fun to harmonize on.
Verse 1:
G C C C/B
I’ve got a car that’s always stuck in the last gear.
Am D
It’s starts and it goes if you leave it alone but you can’t steer.
G C C C/B
Taking it out on a Sunday drive on the back roads
Am C D
And it waits till I’m far away from home and the sun is getting low
Chorus 2:
G C C C/B
And wouldn’t you know it, she’s breaking down again
Am C D
Pulling her over onto the shoulder, letting her under my skin
Verse 2:
G C C C/B
I’ve got a woman that I haven’t seen for a good year
Am D
She’s got a new job, yeah I love her a lot but she ain’t here.
G C C C/B
We’ve got a system and she’s got it all worked out
Am C
But there’s something missing that she’s forgetting that she can’t live
D
without
(Repeat Chorus)
Verse 3: (repeat verse progression)
I’ve got a car, it looks real good with the top down
But it lost a tire and caught on fire in the last town
I’ve got a girl who’s drying her eyes with a haiku
So I’m hitching a ride down 35, gotta be there by afternoon
(Repeat Chorus)
