[Intro]
Am         G      C          F
Da da da n da da, Da da da n da da
Am         G        F                x2
Da da da n da da da da
 
 
[Verse]
Am            G
 Grew up in a small town
C                        F
 And when the rain would fall down
Am        G            F
 I'd just stare out my window
Am                G
 Dreaming of what could be
C                  F
 And if I'd end up happy
 Am G     F
 I would pray 
 
Am              G
 Trying hard to reach out
C                    F
 But when I tried to speak out
Am         G            F
 Felt like no one could hear me
Am            G
 Wanted to belong here
C                      F
 But something felt so wrong here
 Am G    F
 So I'd pray 
Am       G       D   F  G
 I could break away 
 
 
[Chorus]
C                             G
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly.
     Am                    F
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky. 
C
 Make a wish, take a chance, 
G                   Am    G F
 Make a change, and break away. 
C                       G
Out of the darkness and into the sun. 
    Am                     F
But I won't forget all the ones that I love.
      C
 I'll take a risk, take a chance, 
G                   Am    G F
 Make a change, and break away 
 
 
[Instrumental]
Am         G      C          F
Da da da n da da, Da da da n da da
Am         G        F
Da da da n da da da da
 
 
[Verse]
Am              G
 Wanna feel the warm breeze 
C              F
 Sleep under a palm tree
Am        G           F
 Feel the rush of the ocean 
Am             G
 Get onboard a fast train 
C            F
 Travel on a jetplane
 Am  G F
 Far away 
     Am    G D   F  G
 And break away 
 
 
[Chorus]
C                             G
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly.
     Am                    F
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky. 
C
 Make a wish, take a chance, 
G                   Am    G F
 Make a change, and break away.
C                       G
Out of the darkness and into the sun. 
Am                         F
But I won't forget all the ones that I love.
      C
 I'll take a risk, take a chance, 
G                   Am    G F
 Make a change, and break away 
 
 
[Bridge]
 G
 Buildings with a hundred floors 
C                F
 Swinging with revolving doors 
G                                C    F
 Maybe I don't know where they'll take me 
G                   C       F
 Gotta keep movin on movin on
      D
 Fly away 
        F    G
 Break away 
 
 
[Chorus]
C                             G
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly.
Am                      F
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
C
 Take a risk, take a chance, 
G                   Am    G F
 Make a change, and break away.
C                       G
Out of the darkness and into the sun.
Am                     F
But I won't forget the place I come from
         C
 I gotta take a risk, take a chance, 
G                   Am    G F
 Make a change, and break away
 Am    G F
 Break away
 Am    G F
 Break away

Don't need a capo, C key is right, but the bridge can do with corrections.

At the end where it says its nice to repeat intro and end on C, i think F is more fitting

there are a couple places where C should be F otherwise great job, especially for a first time. I've never ventured to post one for fear of being wrong :)
