Capo 3rd fret
[Intro]
G Em7 C
[Verse 1]
GThere's a man on the street I see every mornin'
Em7He plays guitar and a harp, he's got a story
DHe didn't get here from a bottle or a bad drug
CHe 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
Em7She heard her husband was runnin' 'round on her
DLeft her with the kids and the bills and the rent
CNow she's serving blue plates and workin' double shifts
CYeah
[Chorus]
G D/F#Give a break, give a break to the broken
Em7 DDon't know where they've been, no way of knowin'
CHow much they're hurtin' through the hell they're goin'
D G Em7 CSo, give a break, give a break to the broken
[Verse 2]
GThere's a family on their knees down in Memphis
Em7Their girl's been in and out of hospital treatments
DThey might be late for work or run a red light
C DBut to say the least, they've got somethin' else on their mind
GAnd there's a soldier, can't be older than twenty-three
Em7Trying to fit in again from the Middle East
DNightmares come when he hits the sack
C DHe 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 DDon't know where they've been, no way of knowin'
CHow much they're hurtin' through the hell they're goin'
D GSo, give a break, give a break to the broken
[Instrumental Break]
Em7 C D
[Bridge]
CIf you ain't going through something now
G/B DThen consider yourself blessed
CBut on the day you do, you might
G Em7I hope you prayed something like this
DI prayed something like this
[Chorus]
G D/F#Give a break, give a break to the broken
Em7 DDon't know where they've been, no way of knowin'
CHow much they're hurtin' through the hell they're goin'
D GSo, give a break, give a break to the broken
G D/F# Em7He knows your heart, He knows your fears, He knows your mind, He dries your tears
Em7He knows your weakness, knows your strengths
DHeals your guilt, feels your pain
CHe loves you more than anything
[Outro]
G Em7He gives a break, gives a break to the broken
C DHe gives a break gives a break to the broken
G Em7 DGive a break, give a break to the broken
C D CSo, give a break, gives a break to the broken
