C G Am F C G
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da (repeat)
C G
Grew up in a small town
Am F
And when the rain would fall down
C G Am F
I'd just stare out of my window
C G
Dreaming of what could be
Am F
And if I end up happy
C G
I would prey
C G
Trying hard to reach out
Am F
But when I tried to speak out
C G Am F
Felt like no one could hear me
C G
I wanted to belong here
Am F
But something felt so wrong here
C G
So I'd prey
C G Am F
I could breakaway
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 G
I'll take a risk take a chance make a change
Am F
And breakaway
C G
Out of the darkness and into the sun
Am F
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
C G Am F
I'll take a risk take a chance make a change and breakaway
C G Am F C G
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da
C G
Wanna feel the warm breeze
Am F
Sleep under a palm tree
C G
Feel the rush of the ocean
Am F
Get on board a fast train
C G
Travel on a jet plane
Am F
Far away
C G Am F
And breakaway chorus
G
Buildings with a hundred floors
C Am
Swinging with revolving doors
G Dm
Well mabe I don't know where they'll take meeee
C G
But gotta keep movin on movin on
C D
Fly away
C G D
And breakaway
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 G
I'll take a risk take a chance make a change
Am F
And breakaway
C G
Out of the darkness and into the sun
Am F
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
C G Am F
I'll take a risk take a chance make a change and breakaway
