Verse 1: Joe:
B minorBm
This city doesn't know what's coming
      D/AD/A    D MajorD
She doesn't feel the heat
B minorBm
This city won't know what hit her
           D/AD/A    D MajorD
What knocked her out into the streets
B minorBm
This city's thinking that it's over
          D/AD/A  D MajorD
And she's already fast asleep

Refrain: Joe:
B minorBm
So I'm breaking out of here tonight
 D/AD/A  D MajorD
I am ready!


Verse 2: Joe:
B minorBm
We're given only what we need
      D/AD/A    D MajorD
Only the chance to survive
B minorBm
And even then, it's a coin toss
  D/AD/A     D MajorD
A augmentedA roll of the dice
B minorBm
There's gotta be something better
        D/AD/A     D MajorD
Somewhere that feels more alive


Refrain: Joe:
            B minorBm
So I'm breaking out of here tonight

I'm breaking out of here


Chorus 1: Joe & Choir:
G+G
You've gotta feel it girl
A augmentedA         B minorBm
Feel the wind pick up
G+G                     A augmentedA
It feels like something's gonna change (Something's gotta change)
G+G
But there's no use putting it in drive
       A augmentedA     B minorBm
If all the wheels are stuck
G+G                 A augmentedA
There's something wrong here (Something's wrong here)
G+G
Like this whole city wants to scream
      A augmentedA    B minorBm
But no one makes a sound
G+G                 A augmentedA
But, you've got to feel it, baby (Something's wrong here)
G+G
So I'm gonna find out what it is
     A augmentedA      B minorBm
And I'm gonna tear it down

Verse 3: Joe:
G+G
The engine's running, baby
A augmentedA              B minorBm
We don't have time for goodbyes
G+G
I know you can't come with me
A augmentedA             B minorBm
I see that look in your eyes
G+G
So kiss me fast
         A augmentedA
Cause there's no time to lose
B minorBm
Leave the light on
A augmentedA
I'll come back for you
B minorBm               A augmentedA
When everything is said and done
              G+G
I swear I'm gonna make it right


Refrain: Joe:
              D MajorD   B minorBm  D/AD/A   D MajorD
I'm breaking out of here tonight
           B minorBm      D/AD/A   D MajorD
I'm breaking out of here tonight
I'm breaking out of here tonight
           B minorBm     D/AD/A   D MajorD
I'm breaking out of here tonight
           B minorBm     D/AD/A   D MajorD
I'm breaking out of here tonight


Verse 4: Joe:
B minorBm
I'm so tired of giving up
     D/AD/A      D MajorD
I am so tired of giving in
B minorBm
You wake up knowing things should change
       D/AD/A   D MajorD
Not knowing where to begin
B minorBm
This city won't say where she's going
          D/AD/A     D MajorD
She won't speak of where she's been


Refrain:
            B minorBm
So I'm breaking out of here tonight...

Break out


Bridge: Choir:
 G+G             A augmentedA   G+G
Ooh, don't turn your back on the city

Ooh, don't turn your back on the city
               A augmentedA  B minorBm
Ooh, don't turn your back on the city


Verse 5: Joe:
G+G
Sometimes I just want to drive
 A augmentedA         B minorBm
Until the streets run out
G+G
I want to burn until there's
  A augmentedA         B minorBm
Nothing left to burn about
G+G             A augmentedA
This city's waiting for a better day
 B minorBm             A augmentedA
When I get back there will be hell to pay
B minorBm           A augmentedA
If I'm the only one left standing
            G+G
I will not be afraid to fight


Refrain:
G+G               D MajorD
So I'm breaking out of here tonight


Chorus 2: Joe & Choir:
G+G
I feel a fever coming on me
     A augmentedA   B minorBm
Burning out of control
G+G              A augmentedA
And I hear nothing but the static (Nothing but the static)
G+G
For years now there's been nothing
    A augmentedA        B minorBm
But the static on the radio
G+G                   A augmentedA
If you can hear my voice outside these walls (If you can hear me)
G+G                  A augmentedA     B minorBm   A augmentedA
If you can hear me sending out this message tonight
G+G                       A augmentedA
Then break the silence, send a signal back (If you can hear me)
G+G                      A augmentedA    B minorBm
I'm coming, all I need is a little guiding light...
