"Need a Break" (David Myles)
From "Turn Time off" (2010)
Capo on third fret (sounds in G).
The E goes back and forth with E7 and related chords by hammer-ons; this is a common
folk-blues technique: compare to Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues" and "Maggie's Farm"
or Justin Towns Earle's "Harlem River Blues".

[Intro]
E E7 E
[Verse]
YEou Need a break from the noise in the middle of the night,
yEou need a break from all those boys who just seem to want to fight.
You need a brAeak from being lonely, a break from playing games,
you need a brEeak from shaking hands, faking interest in the names.
I belBieve you when you tell me your time is running out,
I can sAee it in your eyes, I can tDell there is no doAubt,
you need a brEeak...you need a break.
[Verse]
YEou need a break from paying bills, a break from paying rent,
yEou put all your money on your loans, and you can't make a dent.
You need a brAeak from early mornings, a break from your alarm,
a brEeak from your boss wouldn't do you any harm.
Your tBemper's getting shorter and your mood is getting bad,
if you hAad a bottled genie, be the oDnly wish you hAad,
you need a brEeak...you need a break.
[Bridge]
You don't nAeed new clothes don't need a new car,
you don't nEeed someone telling you how lucky you are,
you don't wBanna rent a movie or go for a run,
if you hAad a list of things to do you'd oDnly choose oAne,
you need a brEeak...you need a break.
You don't nAeed a doctor, don't wanna take pills,
you don't nEeed a diagnosis cause you know it so well.
They say "tBake your time and ask yourself why"
when you already hAave, and you tDold yourself AI...
just need a brEeak....just need a break.
[solo]
E A E B A D A E
[Verse]
YEou need a break from the hastle, a break from the hype,
yEou need a break from going in and out of fashion overnight.
You need a brAeak from keeping up, a break from feeling down,
you need a brEeak from all the traffic on your way across town.
you need a brBeak from people telling you what's right and what's wrong,
no one sAeems to want to listen to what you've knDown all alAong,
you need a brEeak....you need a break....
[Bridge]
You try to lAearn to paint, you try to learn to sing,
you've tried to mEeditate, you've tried everything.
You rBead Walt Whitman and the Tao Te Ching,
and you're still mAissing something, still mDissing one thAing,
you need a brEeak....you need a break.
You don't nAeed a doctor, don't wanna take pills,
don't nEeed a diagnosis cause you know it so well,
they say "tBake your time and ask yourself why"
when you already hAave and you told yourself:
