Verse 1:

Gm7 C
Time will not wait for me
A7 Dm
Time is my destiny
G C /B Bb
Why change the part of me that has to be free

The love that passed me by
I found no reason why
But now each day is filled with the love

(Bb) Gm
That very same love
Bbmaj7
That passed me by
G7sus4 G7
And that is why

Chorus 1:

C Dm
I can breakaway from that lonely life
Gm7 C7 Fmaj7 F /E
And I can do what I wanna do
Dm7 G7 Gm7/C
And breakaway from that empty life
D7
And my world is new

Verse 2:

When I laid down on my bed
I heard voices in my head
Telling me now "Hey it's only a dream"

The more I thought of it
I had been out of it
And here's the answer I found instead

(Baby baby) Found out it was in my head
(Baby baby) Found out it was my head
(Baby baby) Found out it was in my head

Chorus 2:

And I can breakaway to the better life
Where the shackles never hold me down
I'm gonna make a way for each happy day
As my life turns around

Coda:

Bb
Come on we're free to break away
(Oh boy you jump for joy when you)
Gm
Now won't you come on, you're free to break away
(break away)
Bb Gm
Come on you're free to break, break away
(break away) (break away)
Bb Gm
Come on you're free to break, break away
(break away) (break away)

Bb Gm
Feel the vibrations in all the sensations, breakin' away
Bb Gm
Feel the vibrations in all the sensations, breakin' away [fade]
