🎸 Verse 1:
      D                                      C
Listen, I walk the city at midnight with the past strapped to my back
D                                  C
Lately I can't get no sleep, I'm a real insomniac
D                                     C
 I was chatting with a ghost, wants a hundred and a match
         D                                   C
Says, "I know you got the money, where's the man behind the mask "

 I walk this way a million times with a blindfold on my eyes
D                                  C
 It's a nighttime business with an angel in disguise
  D                                C
I bargained with the devil, I need heaven for one night
D                               C
 I can't stand this chaos, it's churning up my mind

They see a sullen face

🎸 Verse 1:
        D             C             G
Well, I got to take a break from it all
           D            C          G
'Cause the wind and the wilderness calls
      D              C              G
And I just need some peace from the stars
  D             C             G
I got to take a break from it all
      D             C           G
And I got to take a break for a while
      D                   C           G
Where there ain't another human for a hundred miles
  D            C             G
I hate being enclosed by the walls
         D             C             G
And I've got to take a break from it all
        D                            C
I'll be dancing on diamonds, I'll be skating on vans
        D                         C
I'll be chopping up wood, I'll be splitting the hands
D                     C
 An old damn radio is all that I've got
D                                     C
 It just plays Hank Williams and some bad honky-tonk
         D             C                G
'Cause I got to take a break from it all

🎸 Verse 2:
     D             C           G
I've got to break away from it all
         D            C       G
From the city and the suburbs and sprawl
        D          C               G
And the small town chatter and the no-dogs
     D           C          G
To a place where no one can call
      D                            C
And I won't hear thе sirens or the maddening crowd
         D                     C
Just thе bark of a fox and the hoot of an owl
D                              C
 Ain't got no connections or a satellite phone
D                                  C
 I'm avoiding the pictures and the people back home
              D            C            G
And I've just got to break free from it all


🎸 Bridge:
              Em                          C
You see, they can't last forever, I'll be diving back in
     Em                          G
It's good for my soul, yes, it's saving my skin
       Em                       C
'Cause I love the laughter, the women, the wine
          Em           D            C
I've just got to break free from it all

And I'm weary of the grey of the trail
  D           C          G
I ain't gonna post and I ain't gonna mail
  D              C              G
I just need some peace from the storm
     D             C           G
I've got to break away from it all
         D             C           G
And I've got to break away from it all
         D             C           G
And I've got to break away from it all
