G                    
She was silent trying to be 
                               F
Like the girl who acted on the TV 
G
Always knowing when to say 
                             F
Wishing for a moment so that they could see 


Pre-chorus:
 G
Staring in the night 
  Bb
A picture in my room 
      C
And I think that she knew her lines 


Chorus:
              F   Bb
Break away tonight 
C        Bb
 I wanna hold your hand 
                     F   Bb
We've got to get it right 
C             Bb
 We've got to understand 


Carefully watching waiting as I 
Stood upon the back streets and we start to play 
I was screaming louder as the 
Curtains fall between us in a twisted way 


Pre-chorus:
Staring in the night 
A picture in my room 
And I think that she knew her lines 


Chorus:
Break away tonight 
I wanna hold your hand 
We've got to get it right 
We've got to understand 


Placing all the questions in the 
Minutes of a game we won so long ago 
Dangerous and beautiful the 
Radio transmission that I have to know 


Pre-chorus:
You could never run 
You could never stay 
And I think you belong to me 


Chorus:
Break away tonight 
I wanna hold your hand 
We've got to get it right 
We've got to understand
