Breaking Out

Bm
This city doesn't know what's coming
            D/A       D
She doesn't feel the heat
Bm
This city won't know what hit her
                      D/A    
What knocked her out into the 
   D
streets
Bm
This city's thinking that it's over
                   D/A    D
And she's already fast asleep


[Refrain: Joe]
Bm
So I'm breaking out of here tonight
  D/A    D
I am ready!


[Verse 2: Joe]
Bm
We're given only what we need
           D/A        D
Only the chance to survive
Bm
And even then, it's a coin toss
   D/A         D
A roll of the dice
Bm
There's gotta be something better
               D/A          D
Somewhere that feels more alive


[Refrain: Joe]
                        Bm
So I'm breaking out of here tonight

I'm breaking out of here


[Chorus 1: Joe & Choir]
G
You've gotta feel it girl
A                 Bm
Feel the wind pick up
G                             
It feels like something's gonna 
             A
change (Something's gotta change)
G
But there's no use putting it in 
drive
             A         Bm
If all the wheels are stuck
G                          
There's something wrong here 
       A
(Something's wrong here)
G
Like this whole city wants to scream
            A        Bm
But no one makes a sound
G                              
But, you've got to feel it, baby 
    A
(Something's wrong here)
G
So I'm gonna find out what it is
          A            Bm
And I'm gonna tear it down


[Verse 3: Joe]
G
The engine's running, baby
Continues after the ad
Remove ads
A                            Bm
We don't have time for goodbyes
G
I know you can't come with me
A                         Bm
I see that look in your eyes
G
So kiss me fast
                  A
Cause there's no time to lose
Bm
Leave the light on
A
I'll come back for you
Bm                             A
When everything is said and done
                           G
I swear I'm gonna make it right


[Refrain: Joe]
                           D     
I'm breaking out of here tonight
Bm   D/A     D

                     Bm           
I'm breaking out of here tonight
D/A      D

I'm breaking out of here tonight
                     Bm          
I'm breaking out of here tonight
D/A     D

                      Bm          
I'm breaking out of here tonight
D/A     D



[Verse 4: Joe]
Bm
I'm so tired of giving up
         D/A            D
I am so tired of giving in
Bm
You wake up knowing things should 
change
             D/A      D
Not knowing where to begin
Bm
This city won't say where she's 
going
                    D/A         D
She won't speak of where she's been


[Refrain]
                        Bm
So I'm breaking out of here 
tonight...

Break out


[Bridge: Choir]
  G                          A 
Ooh, don't turn your back on the 
    G
city
G                           A 
Ooh, don't turn your back on the 
     Bm
city
                             A  
Ooh, don't turn your back on the 
  Bm
city
                             A  
Ooh, don't turn your back on the 
  Bm
city


[Verse 5: Joe]
G
Sometimes I just want to drive
 A                  Bm
Until the streets run out
G
I want to burn until there's
   A                  Bm
Nothing left to burn about
G                          A
This city's waiting for a better day
  Bm                          A
When I get back there will be hell 
to pay
Bm                      A
If I'm the only one left standing
                        G
I will not be afraid to fight


[Refrain]
G                             D
So I'm breaking out of here tonight


[Chorus 2: Joe & Choir]
G
I feel a fever coming on me
          A     Bm
Burning out of control
G                           A
And I hear nothing but the static 
(Nothing but the static)
G
For years now there's been nothing
        A                Bm
But the static on the radio
G                              
If you can hear my voice outside 
        A
these walls (If you can hear me)
G                                 
If you can hear me sending out 
   A         Bm      A
this message tonight
G                            
Then break the silence, send a 
                  A
signal back (If you can hear me)
G                                 
I'm coming, all I need is a little
           A        Bm
 guiding light...


[Other]

...if you can hear me

Don't turn your back on the city
