Breakaway

Sonny abandoned his car last night, 
                                                  C 
Had a meeting on the decks with a light blue Monterey. 
         G 
To breakaway.

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.

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.

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.
