verse 1
Dm
There's a light by the window and
C
There's a shadow by the sea
Bb
and there's an angel or assassin
Dm C
I know she waits for me
Dm
There's a time and place she say
C
Where we can meet again
Bb Dm
Well that's alright by me
C Bb
oh, Breakaway
F
I can always hear her say
Dm
There's a time and there's a place
C
Where we can always be
Dm C
oh, Breakaway, u-uh
Dm C
woe, woe, woe, breakaway, u-uh
verse 2
Dm
In the secret paradise
C
We'd find it again and again
Bb
She'd roll me like a train
Dm C
On that sunken island
Dm
We'd run together
C
Where know one would dare to dream
Bb Dm
but I can still remember that silken beacon
C Bb
Oh, breakaway
F
I can almost hear her say
Dm
The world is such a stupid place
C
We'll crack the sky and get lost in space
Bb
Oh, breakaway
F
I can almost hear her say
Dm
There's a time and there's a place
C
Where we can always meet again
Dm C
Oh, breakaway, u-uh

woe, woe, woe, Breakaway, u-uh

There's a time and there's a place
C
Where we can always be again

Oh, breakaway
F
I can almost hear her say
Dm
The world is such a stupid place
C
We'll crack the sky and get lost in space again
Dm C
Oh, breakaway, yeah
Dm C
woe, woe, woe, breakaway, u-uh
Dm C

Dm
The song fades out on the album but I usually just end on Dm
