                                                   C      
Had a meeting on the decks with a light blue Monterey.

          G      
To breakaway.

 G                                                              
Sonny was playing all his cards last night, in a hotel room,

                    C                 G     
He dealt his life away,  to breakaway.

            D                                G         
   Now the promises and the lies, they demand it.

            Fmaj7                                       
   Let the hearts that have been broken,  stand,

            G      A      Csus9        D        G                     
   As the price you pay,  to breakaway,  oh breakaway,

C         G   
   Oh ronde, ronde, ronde, ray,    oh breakaway.    

 G                                               
Janie slipped from behind the bar last night.

                                                   C                 G      
Cashed out and walked onto the streets, rainy and gray,  to breakaway.

 G                                                                       C       
Janie slid into a car last night, in a parking lot, she gave her soul away,

           G     
To breakaway.


   (Chorus)
 G                                                 
Bobby lay, beneath a sheet of stars last night,

                                                    C                G      
His back on the blacktop, still warm from the heat of day,  breakaway,

 G                                                         
Bobby went down, hard last night,  saw a shooting star,

                                C       G             
As the evening light, slipped away.     (Chorus)
