 Intro:    Am    G    C    F    Am    G    F  (2x)


 verse 1: 
Am              G 
 Grew up in a small town 
C                         F 
 And when the rain would fall down 
Am          G           F 
 I'd just stare out my window 
Am                 G 
 Dreamin' of what could be 
C                   F 
 And if I'd end up happy 
Am   G     F 
 I would pray  


 verse 2: 
Am                G 
 Trying hard to reach out 
C                      F 
 But when I tried to speak out 
Am          G            F 
 Felt like no one could hear me 
Am            G 
 Wanted to belong here 
C                        F 
 But something felt so wrong here 
 Am G   F             Am   G  D    F    G 
 So I prayed I could break away
