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

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 C/G Fadd9
And break a - way
C G5
Out of the darkness and into the sun

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

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
