[Verse 1]
Am              G/B
  Grew up in a small town
C                         F
  And when the snow would fall down
Am          G/B         F
  I'd just stare out my window
Am                 G/B
  Dreaming of what could be
C                 F
  And if I end up happy
Am G    F
I would pray
[Verse 2]
    Am               G/B
I am  trying hard to reach out
C                      F
  But when I tried to speak out
Am          G/B          F
  Felt like no one could hear me
Am            G/B
  Wanted to belong here
C                       F
  But something felt so wrong here
Am G   F
So I'd pray
        Am    G D  F G
I could break a-way
[Chorus 1]
C                             G
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
     Am                     F
I'll do what it takes until I touch the sky
     C
And I make a wish take a chance
G                   Am    G F
  Make a change and break a-way
C                       G
Out of the darkness and into the sun
    Am                     F
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
C
  Take a risk take a chance
G                   Am    G F
  Make a change and break a-way
[Post Chorus]
Am            G/B
  Da da da da da da
C             F
  Da da da da da da

Am            G/B      F
  Da da da da da da da da
[Verse 3]
Am               G/B
  Wanna feel the warm breeze
C               F
  Sleep under a palm tree
Am         G/B         F
  Feel the rush of the ocean
Am              G/B
  Get onboard a fast train
C             F
  Travel on a jetplane
Am  G F
Far a-way
    Am    G D F G
And break a-way
[Chorus 2]
C                             G
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
     Am                     F
I'll do what it takes until I touch the sky
     C
And I make a wish take a chance
G                   Am    G F
  Make a change and break a-way
C                       G

[Bridge]
G
Buildings with a hundred floors
C                 F
  Swinging with revolving doors
G                                  C    F
  Maybe I don't know where they'll take me
   G                    C         F
But gotta keep moving on moving on
     D          F  G
Fly away break away
[Chorus 3]
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
I gotta take a risk take a chance
G                   Am    G F
  Make a change and break a-way
C                       G
Out of the darkness and into the sun
    Am                       F
But I won't forget the place where I come from
       C
I gotta take a risk take a chance
G                   Am    G F
  Make a change and break a-way
[Outro]
Am    G F
Break a-way
Am    G F
Break a-way
