Breakaway chords by Bruce Springsteen

G

                          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)
