[Verse 1]
        D
Well, I got to take
   C             G
 a break from it all
           D
'Cause the wind and the
 C          G
 wilderness calls
      D              C
And I just need some peace
          G
 from the stars
  D             C
I got to take a break
          G
from it all
      D             C
And I got to take a break
       G
 for a while
      D
Where there ain't another
  C           G
 human for a hundred miles
  D            C
I hate being enclosed
        G
by the walls
         D
And I've got to take
   C             G
 a break from it all
        D
I'll be dancing on diamonds,

          C
 I'll be skating on vans
        D
I'll be chopping up wood,
          C
 I'll be splitting the hands
D                     C
 An old damn radio is all
that I've got
D
 It just plays Hank Williams
           C
 and some bad honky-tonk
         D             C
'Cause I got to take a break
            G
 from it all

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

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

[Verse 4]
        D            C
And I'm weary of the grey
        G
 of the trail
  D           C
I ain't gonna post and
  G
 I ain't gonna mail
  D              C
I just need some peace
          G
from the storm
     D             C
I've got to break away
         G
from it all
         D             C
And I've got to break away
         G
from it all
         D
And I've got to break
  C           G
away from it all
     D           C
To a place where no
         G
one can call
         D             C
And I've got to break away
         G
from it all
