Title: Breaking The Girl
Transcribed by: The2ndPerson
Email: box_full_of_junk@hotmail.com

This is the best transcription of this song you'll find on the 'net. This is close 
to how Frusciante plays it - especially the Chorus. 12-string acoustic, tuned down
a half-step. No Capo. And most importantly: hit the strings as hard as humanly possible.

VERSE 1:

 I                   am a man                         cut from      the

VERSE 2:

Raised by my dad
Girl of the day
He was my man
That was the way
She was the girl
Left alone
Feeling the need
To make me her home

PRE-CHORUS 2:

   C         G             Am
I don't know what, when or why

 C               G          F 
The twilight of love had arrived

Repeat Chorus with this fill at the end, right before the "pots and pans" break:
