5  5  5-5-5 5   6  6  6-5-5 5

Da da da da da dad a

 5   5  5 -5  -5    5 
Grew up in a small town 
 3   6    6   6    -5    -5   5
And when the rain would fall down 
-3   5    -5    5  -5 -3   3
I'd just stare out my win-dow 
  5    5  5   -5   -5   5
Dream-ing of what could be 
 5   6  6   6  -5 -5  5
And if I'd end up hap-py 
5  -5    5    3   3    3
I would pray (I would pray) 

 5   5   5   -5  -5    5
Try-ing hard to reach out 
 3    6  6   6   -5  -5    5
But when I tried to speak out  
 -3   5   -5  5   -5    -3  3
Felt like no one could hear me 
 5   5  5  -5  -5   5
Want-ed to be-long here 
 5   6     6    6   -5  -5    5
But some-thing felt so wrong here 
5  -5   5
So I'd pray 
3   3     5  -5 -56-55
I would break-a-  way 

(Chorus) 
 8      8   8    8   -7 
I'll spread my wings and  
 7    -7    7  7   7
I'll learn how to fly 
 6   -7  -7  -7  -7
I'll do what it takes  
 6  -5   5    5   5
till I touch the sky  
-3   3    5  -5  6
And I'll make a wish  
 5  -5   6     5  -5   6
Take a chance make a change 
 5    6  -5  5
And break-a-way 
 8  8   8   8    -7   7  -7 7   7   7
Out of the dark-ness and in-to the sun 
 7 -7  -7   -7  -77  7  
But I won't for-get all  
 7  -5 5  5   5  5
the ones that I love 
 -3   5  -5  6
I'll take a risk 
 5  -5   6     5  -5   6
Take a chance make a change 
 5    6  -5  5
And break-a-way 

 5  5   5   -5   -5    5
Wan-na feel the warm breeze 
  6   6   6 -5  -5   5
Sleep un-der a palm tree 
 -3   5   -5  5  -5  -3  3
Feel the rush of the o-cean 

 5  5    5  -5  -5    5
Get on-board a fast train 
 6   6  6 -5 -5    5
Trav-el on a jet plane, 
 5 -5  5  -3    5  -5 -56-55 
far a-way and break-a-  way 

8      8   8    8   -7 
I'll spread my wings and  
 7    -7    7  7   7

I'll do what it takes

Take a chance make a change 
 5    6  -5  5
And break-a-way 

  7    7    7   6  7   7     -5
Build-ings with a hun-dred floors 
  7   7    7   -6  7    7   -5
Swing-in round re-volv-ing doors 
 7  7  7  -6    7     7
May-be I don't know where  
  6      -7  7  -5
they'll take me but 
-6  7   7    7   7  -5   7   7  -5
Got-ta keep mov-ing on, mov-ing on 
-6  6 -5     6   6 -55-5
Fly a-way, break-a- way 

 8      8   8    8   -7
I'll spread my wings and  
 7    -7    7  7   7
I'll learn how to fly 
   6    -7  -7  -7 -7
Though it's not eas-y  
6   -5   5   5   5
to tell you good-bye 
-3  3   5  -5  6
got-ta take a risk 
 5  -5   6     5  -5   6
Take a chance make a change 
 5    6  -5  5
And break-a-way 
 8  8   8   8    -7   7  -7 7   7   7
Out of the dark-ness and in-to the sun
