Sonny abandoned his car last night,
                                                  C
Had a meeting on the decks with a light blue Monterey.
         G
To breakaway.
G
Sonny was playing all his cards last night, in a hotel room,
                   C               G
he dealt his life away,  to breakaway.
           D                              G
   Now the promises and the lies, they demand it.
           Fmaj7
   Let the hearts that have been broken,  stand,
           G    A    Csus9  D      G
   As the price you pay,  to breakaway,  oh breakaway,
                                           C       G
   Oh ronde, ronde, ronde, ray,    oh breakaway.
G                
Janie slipped from behind the bar last night.
                                                  C               G
Cashed out and walked onto the streets, rainy and gray,  to breakaway.
G                                                                     C
Janie slid into a car last night, in a parking lot, she gave her soul away,
          G
to breakaway.

   (Chorus)
G
Bobby lay, beneath a sheet of stars last night,
                                                   C              G
His back on the blacktop, still warm from the heat of day,  breakaway,
G
Bobby went down, hard last night,  saw a shooting star,
                               C     G
As the evening light, slipped away.     (Chorus)
