Key: Ebm Tuning: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb Intro: N.C. Em One, two, three Verse 1: Em Inmate 254, just another number on C Block Em 6 a.m., tray's on the floor, feeding me bologna and sheetrock Cmaj7 D Counting down them days till the sun shines on my face Em Break away Verse 2: Em Got an old lady who lays me down crazy, she'll be waiting in the parking lot Em A few more days on good behavior, gonna give her everything I got Cmaj7 D Counting down the days till the sun shines on my face Em I break away
Chorus: Cmaj7 D I'm busting out this coffin and I'm breaking out the chains Cmaj7 D Can't hold me down for nothing, they can't keep me in a cage Em Break away Em Break away Em I'll break away Em Break away Verse 3: Em Celly hit the buzzer, took off my number, and they gave me back my boots Em Stepped outside looking for my ride, no sign of a you-know-who Cmaj7 D Changed the locks on the single-wide, that ain't my truck outside Em I'll break away Chorus: Cmaj7 D I'm busting out this coffin and I'm breaking out the chains Cmaj7 D Can't hold me down for nothing, they can't keep me in a cage Em I'll break away Em Break away Em I'll break away Em Break away Verse 4: Em I'd go home to Mama, but she don't want the drama, and I really don't blame her much Em Just a lifer on the road, going where it goes, don't know where it's ending up Cmaj7 D Em Only thing I know is true, all I was born to do is to break away Outro: Cmaj7 D I'll break away, I'll break away C Em I'll break away, I'll break away Em I'll break away Em Break away Em I'll break away Em Break away N.C. I'll break away
