Breakaway chords by Kelly Clarkson

Chords with lyrics (Ver. 2)

This is my first tab and I've only been playing a year, so it's really simple.
If you're more advanced, you can probably figure out some things to give it a
little more flavor, but for just playing and singing along these chords work
pretty well. Also, check out the song for the strumming pattern.

Intro:
A minorAm     G+G   C majorC     FF
Da da da n da da, Da da da n da da
A minorAm     G+G    C majorC        x2
Da da da n da da da da

Verse:
A minorAm      G+G
Grew up in a small town
C majorC            FF
And when the rain would fall down
A minorAm    G+G      FF
I'd just stare out my window
A minorAm        G+G
Dreaming of what could be
C majorC         FF
And if I'd end up happy
A minorAm G+G   C majorC
I would pray

A minorAm       G+G
Trying hard to reach out
C majorC          FF
But when I tried to speak out
A minorAm    G+G      FF
Felt like no one could hear me
A minorAm      G+G
Wanted to belong here
C majorC           FF
But something felt so wrong here
A minorAm G+G  C majorC
So I'd pray
A minorAm   G+G    D MajorD  FF
I could break away

Chorus:
C majorC               G+G
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly.
   A minorAm          FF
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky.
C majorC
Make a wish, take a chance,
G+G         A minorAm  G+G FF
Make a change, and break away.
C majorC            G+G
Out of the darkness and into the sun.
  A minorAm           FF
But I won't forget all the ones that I love.
   C majorC
I'll take a risk, take a chance,
G+G         A minorAm  G+G C majorC
Make a change, and break away

Intro x1

Verse:
A minorAm       G+G
Wanna feel the warm breeze
C majorC       FF
Sleep under a palm tree
A minorAm    G+G      FF
Feel the rush of the ocean
A minorAm      G+G
Get onboard a fast train
C majorC      FF
Travel on a jetplane
A minorAm G+G C majorC
Far away
  A minorAm  G+G D MajorD  FF
And break away

Chorus:
C majorC               G+G
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly.
   A minorAm          FF
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky.
C majorC
Make a wish, take a chance,
G+G         A minorAm  G+G FF
Make a change, and break away.
C majorC            G+G
Out of the darkness and into the sun.
A minorAm             FF
But I won't forget all the ones that I love.
   C majorC
I'll take a risk, take a chance,
G+G         A minorAm  G+G C majorC
Make a change, and break away

Bridge:
G+G
Buildings with a hundred floors
A minorAm
Swinging with revolving doors
G+G                A minorAm
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me
G+G          A minorAm
Gotta keep movin on movin on
   D MajorD
Fly away
    FF  G+G
Break away

Chorus:
C majorC               G+G
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly.
A minorAm           FF
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
C majorC
Make a wish, take a chance,
G+G         A minorAm  G+G FF
Make a change, and break away.
C majorC            G+G
Out of the darkness and into the sun.
A minorAm           FF
But I won't forget the place I come from
    C majorC
I gotta take a risk, take a chance,
G+G         A minorAm  G+G FF
Make a change, and break away
A minorAm  G+G FF
Break away
A minorAm  G+G C majorC
Break away


It's also a nice ending to repeat the intro one time and finish with a single strum on the C majorC chord.
