Verse 1:
Am             C/G
  Grew up in a small town
C                        Fadd9
 And when the rain would fall down
Am         C/G          Fadd9
  I'd just stare out my window
Am                 C/G
  Dreaming of what could be
C                  Fadd9
 And if I'd end up happy
Am C/G   Fadd9
I  would pray


Verse 2:
Am               C/G
  Trying hard to reach out
C                    Fadd9
 But when I'd try to speak out
Am          C/G          Fadd9
  Felt like no one could hear me
Am          C/G
  Wanted to belong here
C                      Fadd9
 But something felt so wrong here
Am C/G Fadd9
So I'd pray
        Am    C/G  D   Fadd9  C/G
I could break a  - way


Chorus:
C                             G5
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
     Am                   Fadd9
I'll do what it takes til I    touch the sky
     C                           G5
I'll  make a wish, take a chance,  make a change
    Am    C/G  Fadd9
And break a  - way
C                       G5
Out of the darkness and into the sun
    Am                     Fadd9
But I won't forget all the ones that I loved
     C                           G5
I'll  take a risk, take a chance,  make a change
    Am    C/G  Fadd9
And break a  - way


Break:
Am            C/G
  Da da da da da da
C               Fadd9
 Da da da da da da   da
Am      C/G      Fadd9
  Da da da da da da


Verse 3:
Am               C/G
  Wanna feel the warm breeze
C              Fadd9
 Sleep under a palm tree
Am         C/G         Fadd9
  Feel the rush of the ocean
Am              C/G
  Get onboard a fast train
C            Fadd9
 Travel on a jet plane,
Am  C/G  Fadd9
Far a  - way
    Am    C/G  D   Fadd9  C/G
And break a  - way


Chorus:
C                             G5
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
     Am                   Fadd9
I'll do what it takes til I    touch the sky
         C                           G5
And I'll  make a wish, take a chance,  make a change
      Am  C/G  Fadd9
And break a  - way
C                       G5
Out of the darkness and into the sun
Am                     Fadd9
I won't forget all the ones that I loved

I gotta  take a risk, take a chance,  make a change
    Am    C/G  Fadd9
And break a  - way


Middle 8:
G5
Buildings with a hundred floors
C                   Fadd9
 Swinging around re-volving doors
G5                                 C    Fadd9
  Maybe I don't know where they'll take me   but
G5                    C         Fadd9
Gotta keep moving on, moving on
      D            Fadd9  C/G
Fly a-way, break a-way


Chorus:
C                             G5
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
Am                      Fadd9
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
        C                           G5
I gotta  take a risk, take a chance,  make a change
    Am    C/G  Fadd9
And break a  - way
C                       G5
Out of the darkness and into the sun
    Am                    Fadd9
But I won't forget of the place I come from
        C                           G5
I gotta  take a risk, take a chance,  make a change
    Am    C/G  Fadd9
And break a  - way
Am    C/G  Fadd9
Break a  - way
Am    C/G  Fadd9
Break a  - way
