[Intro]: Am G/B C Fsus2 Am G/B Fsus2   x2
 
Am             G        C                       Fsus2
Grew up in a small town, and when the rain would fall down
Am         G         Fsus2
I'd just stare out my window
Am                G       C                 Fsus2   Am G    Fmaj7
Dreaming of what could be, and if I'd end up happy, I would pray
 
Am              G        C                    Fsus2     Am          G          Fsus2
Trying hard to reach out, but when I tried to speak out, felt like no one could hear me
Am           G        C                      Fsus2
Wanted to belong here, but something felt so wrong here
Am G Fsus2             Am G D  F G
So I prayed, I could breakaway
 
C                              G                     Am                    F
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly, I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky
        C                           G                     Am G F
And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change, and breakaway
 C                      G                 Am                     F
Out of the darkness and into the sun, but I won't forget all the ones that I love
    C                           G                     Am G Fsus2
I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change, and breakaway
 
[Interlude]: Am G C Fsus2 Am G Fsus2
 
Am              G          C             Fsus2      Am         G          Fsus2
Wanna feel the warm breeze, sleep under a palm tree, feel the rush of the ocean
Am             G         C           Fsus2        Am G Fsus2     Am G D  F G
Get onboard a fast train, travel on a jet plane, far away, and breakaway
 
C                              G                     Am                    F
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly, I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky
        C                           G                     Am G F
And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change, and breakaway
 C                      G                 Am                     F
Out of the darkness and into the sun, but I won't forget all the ones that I love
    C                           G                     Am G Fsus2
I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change, and breakaway
 
 G                              C                   F
Buildings with a hundred floors, swinging around revolving doors
G                                 C    F
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but
G                      C        F      D          F G
Gotta keep moving on, moving on, fly away, breakaway
 
C                              G                  Am                     F
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly, though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
       C                           G                     Am G F
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change, and breakaway
 C                      G                 Am                   F
Out of the darkness and into the sun, but I won't forget the place I come from
       C                           G                     Am G Fsus2
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change, and breakaway
  Am G Fsus2 Am G Fsus2
Breakaway, breakaway
