 Intro:    Am    G    C    F    Am    G    F        x 2


 Verse 1:
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
 Dreamin' of what could be
C                   F
 And if I'd end up happy
Am   G     F
 I would pray 


 Verse 2:
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             Am   G  D    F    G
 So I prayed 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 til' I touch the sky
         C                          G
 And I'll make a wish, make a chance, make a change
       Am  G  F
 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                           G
 I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change
       Am  G  F
 And break away


 Am    G     C    F    Am    G    F  


 Verse 3:
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 jet plane
 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 til' I touch the sky
         C                          G
 And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change
       Am  G  F
 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                           G
 I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change
       Am  G  F
 And break away


 Bridge:
   G
 Buildings with a hundred floors
C                   F
 Swinging 'round revolving doors
G                                  C    F
 Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but
G                       C         F
 Gotta keep moving on, moving on
        D          F    G
 Fly away, breakaway


 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                          G
 I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
       Am  G  F
 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                           G
 And I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change
       Am  G  F
 And break away
   Am  G  F
 Break away
   Am  G  F
 Break away
