♫ Intro:

G    Em7  CVerse 1:
 G
There's a man on the street I see every mornin'
Em7
He plays guitar and a harp, he's got a story
 D
He didn't get here from a bottle or a bad drug
C
🎸
Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
He lost his job and his wife in the same month
 G                                              D/F#
And that girl behind the counter that's messing up your order
Em7
She heard her husband was runnin' 'round on her
D
Left her with the kids and the bills and the rent
 C
Now she's serving blue plates and workin' double shifts
C
Yeah


♫ Chorus:
G                                 D/F#
Give a break, give a break to the broken
Em7                                      D
Don't know where they've been, no way of knowin'
C
How much they're hurtin' through the hell they're goin'
D                                        G     Em7  C
So, give a break, give a break to the broken


♫ Verse 2:
 G
There's a family on their knees down in Memphis
 Em7
Their girl's been in and out of hospital treatments
D
They might be late for work or run a red light
 C                                         D
But to say the least, they've got somethin' else on their mind
G
And there's a soldier, can't be older than twenty-three
Em7
Trying to fit in again from the Middle East
D
Nightmares come when he hits the sack
C                             D
He might be home but he ain't all the way back


♫ Chorus:
G                                 D/F#
Give a break, give a break to the broken
Em7                                      D
Don't know where they've been, no way of knowin'
C
How much they're hurtin' through the hell they're goin'
D                                        G
So, give a break, give a break to the broken


InstrumentalBreak:
Em7    C    DBridge:
C
If you ain't going through something now
 G/B            D
Then consider yourself blessed
C
But on the day you do, you might
 G                 Em7
I hope you prayed something like this
 D
I prayed something like this


♫ Chorus:
G                                 D/F#
Give a break, give a break to the broken
Em7                                      D
Don't know where they've been, no way of knowin'
C
How much they're hurtin' through the hell they're goin'
D                                        G
So, give a break, give a break to the broken
G                                                       D/F#                Em7
He knows your heart, He knows your fears, He knows your mind, He dries your
tears
Em7
He knows your weakness, knows your strengths
 D
Heals your guilt, feels your pain
 C
He loves you more than anything


♫ Outro:
G                                         Em7
He gives a break, gives a break to the broken
C                                       D
He gives a break gives a break to the broken
G                                    Em7   D
Give a break, give a break to the broken
C                                        D  C
So, give a break, gives a break to the broken
