Breakaway Chords

   
Am             G
Grew up in a small town
C                             F
And when the rain would fall down   
Am         G             F   C
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    (C)
I would pray

Am               G
Trying hard to reach out
C                  F
But when I tried to speak out
Am                G             F   C
Felt like no one could hear me
Am            G
Wanted to belong here
C                         F
But something felt so wrong here
Am  G  F
So I'd pray 
Am     G   D    F
I could breakaway

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

We started out friends
                                                     F#G

                         F#     G                      
And all you'd ever hear me say
               B        Em
Is how I picture me with you
                           F#      G
That's all you'd ever hear me say
(play normaly)
(CHOURSE)             Em C G
But since you been gone
              Em               C      G

Since you been gone

How can I put it, you put me on

I even fell for that stupid love song

Yeah yeah

Since you been gone


How come I'd never hear you say

I just wanna be with be with you

Guess you never felt that way




CHOURSE

C                        G
You had your chance, you blew it
C                     G
Out of sight, out of mind
D                             Em
Shut your mouth I just can't take it
C                                                     Em
Again, and again, and again, and again...
Em  C G X 4

Since you been gone









F#                                                    D
 
Seems like just yesterday
A                   E
You were a part of me
F#              D
I used to stand so tall
    A                      E
I used to be so strong
F#                D
Your arms around me tight
A                   E
Everything it felt so right
F# D                           A
Unbreakable like nothing could 
        E
go wrong

       D
Now I can't breathe
     A
No I can't sleep
       F#                    E
I'm barely hanging on

             F#
Here I am
            D
Once again
        A              E
I'm torn into pieces
           F#
Can't deny it
           D
Can't pretend
           A                              E
Just thought you were the one
               F#                 A
Broken up deep inside
      Bm          
But you won't get to see the tears
F#          D
I cry
  A                               E
Behind these hazel eyes

I told you everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright for once in my life
Now all that's left of me
Is what I pretend to be
So together but so broken up inside

Cause I can't breathe
No I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on

 








Em            D
I will not make
           C
The same mistakes that you did
Em         D
I will not let myself
C
Cause my heart so much misery
Em            D
I will not break
         C
The way you did, you fell so hard
Em                       D
I've learned the hard way
         C                         D
To never let it get that far

                  Em
Because of you
               C                                   D
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
                   Em
Because of you
                                       C                     D
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
                   Em
Because of you
                         C                  D                                           
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
                     C             D
Because of you I am afraid

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh, every day of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

I watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

Because of you
Because of you
Because of you I am afraid

Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt

Because of you I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you I am afraid

Because of you









Bbm F# G# Ebm 
It's like your a drug 
It's like your a demon I can't face down 
It's like I'm stunned 
It's like I'm running from you all the time 
And I know I let you have all powers like 
The only company I see is misery all around 
It's like your a leech 
Sucking the life from me 
It's like I can't breathe 
Without you inside of me 
And I know I let you have all the power 
And I realize I'm not gonna quit you over time 
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/k/kelly_clarkson/breakaway_crd_ver_7.html ]
Bbm F# G# Ebm 
It's like I can't breathe 
It's like I can't see anything 
Nothing but you 
I'm addicted to you 
It's like I can't think 
Without you in 
You're haunting me 
In my thoughts 
In my dreams 
You're taking over me 

Ebm 
It's like I'm not me 
F
It's like I'm not me 

Bbm G# F# Ebm 
I'm hooked on you 
I need a fix 
I can't take it 
Just one more hit 
I promise I can do with it 
I'll handle then quit it 
Just one more time then that's it 
Just don't let open 
But you'll get me through this










             C
I don't believe
             Bb
In the smile that you leave me with
                   F                                C
When you walk away and say goodbye
                     
Well I don't expect
           Bb                                                     F                               C
The world to implode beneath me but for God's sake could you try


I know that you're true to me
              Bb
You're always there, you say you care
F                                           G
I know that you wanna be mine


                         Bb
Where is your heart
               F                C
Cause I don't really feel you 
                           Bb
Where is your heart
               F                         C
What I really want is to believe you
             Bb                     F
Is it so hard to give me what I need
                      Am
I want your heart to bleed   
                  G                   Bb      F
And that's all I'm asking for
                          C
Where is your heart?

I don't understand
Your love is so cold
It's always me who's reaching out for your hand
I always dreamed
That love would be effortless
Like a petal falling to the ground
A dreamer following his dream
 
G                     F                 C
It seems so much is left inside
G                             F
But you can say anything
        Am               G
Oh anytime you need
    Am             G           Bb
Baby it's just you and me

I know that you're true to me
You're always there, you say you care
I know that you wanna be mine









C#m           B
Is this a dream   
     A
If it is
                        B                          C#m
Please don't wake me from this high
            B
I'd become
                         A
Comfortably numb
                      B                   A
Until you opened up my eyes
                     B
To what it's like
                                  A
When everything's right
                     B
Oh I can't believe

E         A
You found me
             C#m                    B
When no one else was looking
E                       A           C#m                B
How did you know just where I would be
          E      A                   C#m          B
Yeah you broke through all of my confusion
        E                     A                    C#m         B
The ups and the downs and you still didn't leave
      E                      A            C#m               B
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
                   E
You found me

So here we are
And that's pretty far
When you think of where we've been

No going back
I'm fading out
All that has faded me within

You're by my side
Now everything's fine
I can believe

I was hiding
Till you came along
And showed me where I belong

You found me
When no one else was looking
How did you know just where I would be
Yeah you broke through all of my confusion
The ups and the downs and you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
The good and the bad and the things (everything) in between
You found me









Am
I woke up today
C
Woke up wide awake
            F
In an empty bed
                          G
Staring at an empty room
Am
I have myself to blame
               C
For the state I'm in today
                  F                                   G
And now dying doesn't seem so cruel
         Am                                    F
And oh, I don't know what to say
                                     G         Dm
And I don't know anyway, anymore

F         C               G       Am
I hate myself for losing you
         F          C        G       Am
I'm seeing it all so clear
F         C                G      Am
I hate myself for losing you
 F                                         C
What do you do when you look in the mirror
           G                     Am
And staring at you is why he's not here

You got what you deserved
Hope you're happy now
'Cause every time I think of both of you
It's killing me inside
And now I dread each day
Knowing that I can't be saved
From the loneliness of living without you
And oh, I don't know what to 
Not sure that I'll pull through
I wish you knew

I hate myself for losing you
And oh, I don't know what to do
Not sure that I'll pull through
I wish you knew, I wish you knew
And oh, I don't know what to say
And I don't know anyway, anymore
No, no

What do you say, when everything you said
Is the reason why he left you in the end
How do you cry when every day you said
Don't ever bring him back again










Cm                  Gm
  You gotta be out there
Cm                Gm
  You gotta be somewhere
Cm                   Gm
  Wherever you are
         F           Gm
  I'm waiting...
Cm                                Gm 
  Cause there are these nights when
Cm       Gm
  I sing myself to sleep
         Cm
  And I'm hoping my dreams bring
           F         Gm
 You close to me
               Cm
 Are you listening?

Gm    Bb           Cm
 Hear me I'm crying out
 I'm ready now
Gm     Bb            Cm
 Turn my world upside down
 Find me
Gm    Bb    Cm
 I'm lost inside this crowd
 It's getting loud
    Gm
 I need you to see
           Bb                              Cm
 I'm screaming for you to please
           Gm             Bb
 Hear me
                      Cm
 Can you hear me?


 I used to be scared of
 Letting someone in
 But it gets so lonely
 Being on my own
 With no one to talk to and
 No one to hold me
 I'm not always strong
 Oh I need you here

 Are you listening?
        Gm
 I'm restless and wild
    Bb
 I fall but I try
     Cm
 I need someone to understand
 (Can you hear me?)
        Gm
 I'm lost in my thoughts
          Bb
 And baby I've fought
        Cm
 For all that I've got
 Can you hear me?










D                           G              C
He drowns in his dreams
D                             G                 C
An exquisite extreme, I know
D                           G                   C
He's as damned as he seems
D                               G                     C
And more heaven than a heart could hold
Em               C             D 
And if I tried to save him
Bm                                Em
My whole world could cave in
C                                       Am
It just ain't right, it just ain't right

                 D
Oh and I don't know
                                      C
I don't know what he's after
                D
But he's so beautiful
                      C    D
Such a beautiful disaster
                         D
And if I could hold on
                                             C
Through the tears and the laughter
                       D
Would it be beautiful?
                          C      D
Or just a beautiful disaster?

So long
