Tom : G
G
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
C G
He dealt his life away, to breakaway
D G
Now the promises and the lies, they demand it
F7M
Let the hearts that have been broken, stand
G A C9 D G
As the price you pay, to breakaway, oh breakaway
C G
Oh ronde, ronde, ronde, ray, oh breakaway
G
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
G
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
