VerseG
Sonny abandoned his car last night,
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,
CG
he dealt his life away, to breakaway.
DG
Now the promises and the lies, they demand it.
Fmaj7
Let the hearts that have been broken, stand,
GA Csus9 DG
As the price you pay, to breakaway, oh breakaway,
CG
Oh ronde, ronde, ronde, ray, oh breakaway.
G
Janie slipped from behind the bar last night.
CG
Cashed out and walked onto the streets, rainy and gray, to breakaway.
GC
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,
CG
His back on the blacktop, still warm from the heat of day, breakaway,
G
Bobby went down, hard last night, saw a shooting star,
CG
As the evening light, slipped away.
(Chorus)
