 Intro: (chorus chord progression w/background vocals):

            C                        Dm
         (Break, break, shake away, break, break away)
          Gm7      C7       Fmaj7  F   /E
         (Do what, do what I wanna do)

 Verse 1:

         Gm7            C
         Time will not wait for me
         A7          Dm
         Time is my destiny
         G               C              /B         Bb
         Why change the part of me that has to be free

         The love that passed me by
         I found no reason why
         But now each day is filled with the love

         (Bb)            Gm
         That very same love
                       Bbmaj7
         That passed me by
                    G7sus4  G7
         And that is why

 Chorus 1:

                 C                  Dm 
         I can breakaway from that lonely life
                   Gm7        C7  Fmaj7  F   /E
         And I can do what I wanna do
              Dm7       G7       Gm7/C
         And breakaway from that empty life
                 D7
         And my world is new

 Verse 2:

         When I laid down on my bed
         I heard voices in my head
         Telling me now "Hey it's only a dream"

         The more I thought of it
         I had been out of it
         And here's the answer I found instead

         (Baby baby) Found out it was in my head
         (Baby baby) Found out it was my head
         (Baby baby) Found out it was in my head

 Chorus 2:

         And I can breakaway to the better life
         Where the shackles never hold me down
         I'm gonna make a way for each happy day
         As my life turns around

 Coda:

          Bb
         Come on we're free to break away
                (Oh boy you jump for joy when you)
                        Gm
         Now won't you come on, you're free to break away
                      (break away)
           Bb                                              Gm
               Come on you're free to break, break away
         (break away)                                    (break away)
           Bb                                              Gm
               Come on you're free to break, break away
         (break away)                                    (break away)

          Bb                                          Gm
         Feel the vibrations in all the sensations, breakin' away
          Bb                                          Gm
         Feel the vibrations in all the sensations, breakin' away  [fade]
