Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

I got a place that I like to slip off to

 When everything starts closin’ in

 And I got some ways that the world don’t agree with

 Yeah, some folks would call it a sin

 But I work like a dog and I’m good at my job

 And I live for a one-day weekend

 So I’m takin’ off and I might stay all week

 Hell I may never come back again.

Chorus

I Need A Breather, a sweet senorita

 Writin’ my name in the sand

I need a break from this job and this angry boss man

 Some coconut lotion, a chair by the ocean

 Just sit back and take it all in

I got a fever and I Need A Breather again.

 The people at work they think I’m a loner

 But I need some time to myself

 And I don’t want to waste my precious vacation

Livin’ for somebody else

 Cause I’ll have a drink and I might fall down

 And I don’t think that they’d understand

I know it all sounds a little bit crazy

 Well maybe that’s just what I am

Chorus

Things fell apart down at the office

 And I’m getting blamed for it all

I’ve only been back for a couple of days

 And I’m already climbin’ the wall

Chorus2

 Hey I Need A Breather, a stiff margarita

 Bring ‘em fast as you can

 Cause I need a break from this job and this angry boss man

 Some coconut lotion, a chair by the ocean

 Just kick back and take it all in

I got a fever and I Need A Breather again

I got a fever and I Need A Breather again. Yes I Do.
