Breakaway  Kelly Clarkson



[Am]Grew up in a sm[G]all town
[C]And when the rain would fall d[F]own
[Am]I'd just st[G]are out my win[F]dow [C]
[Am]Dreamin' of what [G]could be
A[C]nd if I'd end [F]up happy
[Am]I wo[G]uld[F] pray[C]
[Am]Trying hard to re[G]ach out
[C]But when I tried to[F] speak out
[Am]Felt like no one c[G]ould hear me  [F]    [C]
[Am]Wanted to belo[G]ng here
[C]But something felt so wron[F]g here
[Am]So I[G]'d [F]pray
[Am]I could[G] bre[D]akawa[F]y
[C]I'll spread my wings and I'll lea[G]rn how to fly
[Am]I'll do what it takes 'til I touch th[F]e sky
[C]And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change       [G]
And brea[Am]kawa[G]y   [F]
[C]Out of the darkness[G] and into the sun
But[Am] I won't forget all the [F]ones that I love
I'll [C]take a risk, take a chance, make a change[G]
And breakawa[Am]y  [G]   [C]
B[G]uildings with a hundred floors
[F]Swinging 'round revolving doors
[Am]Maybe I don't know where they'll take me, but   [F]         [C]
[G]Gotta keep movin' on, movin' on       [F]
[D]Fly away
Bre[F]akaway[G]


(just play these tones on the topE streng)
[G]Here's the thing
We started out friends              [B]  [Em]
It was cool, but it was all pretend                  [F#G]

Yeah yeah
Since you been gon[B]e     [Em]        [F#]   [G]
(take the chord but just play on the top one, two or three)
[G]You're dedicated, you took the time                    [B]  [Em]
Wasn't long 'til I called you mine              [F#]    [G]

Yeah yeah
Since you been gone        [B]   [Em]
(take the chord play on the top 3 or 4)
And all you'd ever hear m[F#]e say  [G]
Is how I pictur[B]e me with[Em] you
That's all you'd ever hear [F#]me say  [G]
(play normaly)
(CHOURSE) Em C G
But since you been gone
I can breathe [Em]for the first tim[C]e      [G]
I'm so moving on        [Em]
Yea[C]h yeah [G]
Thanks to you     [Am]
Now I get w[G]hat I want       [D]
Since you been gone        [G]

(same as first verse)
How can I put it, you put me on

I even fell for that stupid love song

Yeah yeah

Since you been gone


How come I'd never hear you say

I just wanna be with be with you

Guess you never felt that way


CHOURSE

[C]You had your chance, you [G]blew it
[C]Out of sight, out of m[G]ind
[D]Shut your mouth I just can't t[Em]ake it
[C]Again, and again, and again, and again...             [Em]
Em C G X 4

CHOURSE
I can breat[Em]he for the first tim[C]e    [G]
I'm so moving on         [Em]
Yea[C]h yeah  [G]
Thanks to you (th[Am]anks to you), now I get (I get)        [G]
You should know (you sh[Am]ould know)
That I get [G]
I get what I want   [D]

Since you been gone        [G]
Since you been gone        [Em]
Since you been gone         [D]

[F#]                                    [D]Seems like just yesterday
[A]You were a part of m[E]e
[F#]I used to stand [D]so tall
I us[A]ed to be so strong     [E]
[F#]Your arms around m[D]e tight
[A]Everything it felt s[E]o right
[F#]Unb[D]reakable like nothing could [A]
go wrong[E]
Now I c[D]an't breathe
No I [A]can't sleep
I'm bar[F#]ely hanging on        [E]
Here I am    [F#]
Once again  [D]
I'm torn[A] into pieces   [E]
Can't deny [F#]it
Can't prete[D]nd
Just though[A]t you were the one             [E]
Broken up deep [F#]inside             [A]
But yo[Bm]u won't get to see the tears
[F#]I cry       [D]
Be[A]hind these hazel eyes           [E]
I told you everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright for once in my life
Now all that's left of me
Is what I pretend to be
So together but so broken up inside

Cause I can't breathe
No I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on



[Em]I will not mak[D]e
The same mi[C]stakes that you did
[Em]I will not [D]let myself
[C]Cause my heart so much misery
[Em]I will not bre[D]ak
The way y[C]ou did, you fell so hard
[Em]I've learned the hard way[D]
To never [C]let it get that far       [D]
Because of you    [Em]
I never stray t[C]oo far from the sidewalk            [D]
Because of you     [Em]
I learned to play on the safe side so I[C] don't get hurt       [D]
Because of you     [Em]
I find it hard to trust n[C]ot only me, but eve[D]ryone around me
Because of you I am a[C]fraid         [D]
I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh, every day of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

I watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

Because of you
Because of you
Because of you I am afraid


Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt

Because of you I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you I am afraid

Because of you


[Bbm]It's[F#] li[G#]ke [Ebm]your a drug
It's like your a demon I can't face down
It's like I'm stunned
It's like I'm running from you all the time
And I know I let you have all powers like
The only company I see is misery all around
It's like your a leech
Sucking the life from me
It's like I can't breathe
Without you inside of me
And I know I let you have all the power
And I realize I'm not gonna quit you over time

[Bbm]It's[F#] li[G#]ke [Ebm]I can't breathe
It's like I can't see anything
Nothing but you
I'm addicted to you
It's like I can't think
Without you in
You're haunting me
In my thoughts
In my dreams
You're taking over me

[Ebm]It's like I'm not me
[F]It's like I'm not me

[Bbm]I'm [G#]hoo[F#]ked[Ebm] on you
I need a fix
I can't take it
Just one more hit
I promise I can do with it
I'll handle then quit it
Just one more time then that's it
Just don't let open
But you'll get me through this


I don't belie[C]ve
In the smile [Bb]that you leave me with
When you walk away [F]and say goodbye                  [C]
Well I don't expect
The world t[Bb]o implode beneath me but for God's sake could you try  [F]                                [C]


I know that you're true to me
You're always [Bb]there, you say you care
[F]I know that you wanna be mine               [G]


Where is your heart      [Bb]
Cause I don't r[F]eally feel you   [C]
Where is your heart        [Bb]
What I really w[F]ant is to believe you     [C]
Is it so hard[Bb] to give me what I need[F]
I want your heart to b[Am]leed
And that's all I'm[G] asking for         [Bb]        [F]
Where is your heart?      [C]
I don't understand
Your love is so cold
It's always me who's reaching out for your hand
I always dreamed
That love would be effortless
Like a petal falling to the ground
A dreamer following his dream
[G]It seems so much is le[F]ft inside         [C]
[G]But you can say anything      [F]
Oh anyti[Am]me you need      [G]
Baby[Am] it's just you [G]and me      [Bb]

I know that you're true to me
You're always there, you say you care
I know that you wanna be mine


[C#m]Is this a drea[B]m
If it[A] is
Please don't wake me fro[B]m this high                [C#m]
I'd become  [B]
Comfortably numb         [A]
Until you opened up my[B] eyes               [A]
To what it's like    [B]
When everything's right           [A]
Oh I can't believe   [B]
[E]You found [A]me
When no one e[C#m]lse was looking        [B]
[E]How did you know just wh[A]ere I would [C#m]be                 [B]
Yeah you b[E]roke th[A]rough all of my conf[C#m]usion        [B]
The ups [E]and the downs and you [A]still didn't leave   [C#m]            [B]
I gues[E]s that you saw what nob[A]ody could see[C#m]                  [B]
You found me       [E]
So here we are
And that's pretty far
When you think of where we've been

No going back
I'm fading out
All that has faded me within

You're by my side
Now everything's fine
I can believe

I was hiding
Till you came along
And showed me where I belong

You found me
When no one else was looking
How did you know just where I would be
Yeah you broke through all of my confusion
The ups and the downs and you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
The good and the bad and the things (everything) in between
You found me


[Am]I woke up today
[C]Woke up wide awake
In an empty [F]bed
Staring at an empty room  [G]
[Am]I have myself to blame
For the state I[C]'m in today
And now dying does[F]n't seem so cruel                   [G]
And oh, I[Am] don't know what to say               [F]
And I don't know anyway, anymore     [G]          [Dm]
[F]I hate mys[C]elf for losing y[G]ou      [Am]
         [F]           [C]         [G]       [Am] 
I'm seeing it all so clear
[F]I hate mys[C]elf for losing yo[G]u      [Am]
W[F]hat do you do when you look in the mirror [C]
And staring[G] at you is why he's no[Am]t here

You got what you deserved
Hope you're happy now
'Cause every time I think of both of you
It's killing me inside
And now I dread each day
Knowing that I can't be saved
From the loneliness of living without you
And oh, I don't know what to
Not sure that I'll pull through
I wish you knew

I hate myself for losing you
And oh, I don't know what to do
Not sure that I'll pull through
I wish you knew, I wish you knew
And oh, I don't know what to say
And I don't know anyway, anymore
No, no

What do you say, when everything you said
Is the reason why he left you in the end
How do you cry when every day you said
Don't ever bring him back again


[Cm]  You gotta be out t[Gm]here
[Cm]  You gotta be som[Gm]ewhere
[Cm]  Wherever you are   [Gm]
  I'm wai[F]ting...     [Gm]
[Cm]  Cause there are these nights whe[Gm]n
[Cm]  I sing [Gm]myself to sleep
  And I'm[Cm] hoping my dreams bring
You close [F]to me     [Gm]
Are you listen[Cm]ing?
[Gm] Hear [Bb]me I'm crying[Cm] out
I'm ready now
[Gm] Turn m[Bb]y world upside[Cm] down
Find me
[Gm] I'm l[Bb]ost in[Cm]side this crowd
It's getting loud
I n[Gm]eed you to see
I'm scream[Bb]ing for you to please           [Cm]
Hear me   [Gm]               [Bb]

Can you hear me?     [Cm]

I used to be scared of
Letting someone in
But it gets so lonely
Being on my own
With no one to talk to and
No one to hold me
I'm not always strong
Oh I need you here

Are you listening?
I'm res[Gm]tless and wild
I f[Bb]all but I try
I ne[Cm]ed someone to understand
(Can you hear me?)
I'm los[Gm]t in my thoughts
And baby [Bb]I've fought
For all[Cm] that I've got
Can you hear me?


[D]He drowns in his dreams     [G]               [C]
[D]An exquisite extreme, I know  [G]                  [C]
[D]He's as damned as he seems  [G]                    [C]
[D]And more heaven than a heart cou[G]ld hold               [C]
[Em]And if I tried to[C] save him     [D]
[Bm]My whole world could cave in      [Em]
[C]It just ain't right, it just ain't right[Am]
Oh and I don't kn[D]ow
I don't know what he's after          [C]
But he's so beau[D]tiful
Such a beautiful disas[C]ter  [D]
And if I could hold on   [D]
Through the tears and the laughter           [C]
Would it be beautiful? [D]
Or just a beautiful disast[C]er?    [D]
I'm lon[Cm]ging for love and t[Eb]he logical           [F]
But he'[Bb]s only happy hysteri[F]cal        [Gm]
       [Cm]                  [Eb]           [F] 
I'm waitin' for some kind of miracle
Waiting so long,   [G]         [C]
So long          [G]         [C]
