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 D
What knocked her out into the 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 A
It feels like something's gonna change (Something's gotta change)
G
But there's no use putting it in drive
A Bm
If all the wheels are stuck
G A
There's something wrong here (Something's wrong here)
G
Like this whole city wants to scream
A Bm
But no one makes a sound
G A
But, you've got to feel it, baby (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
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 Bm D/A D
I'm breaking out of here tonight
Bm D/A D
I'm breaking out of here tonight
I'm breaking out of here tonight
Bm D/A D
I'm breaking out of here tonight
Bm D/A D
I'm breaking out of here tonight
[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 G
Ooh, don't turn your back on the city
G A Bm
Ooh, don't turn your back on the city
A Bm
Ooh, don't turn your back on the city
A Bm
Ooh, don't turn your back on the 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 A
If you can hear my voice outside these walls (If you can hear me)
G A Bm A
If you can hear me sending out this message tonight
G A
Then break the silence, send a signal back (If you can hear me)
G A Bm
I'm coming, all I need is a little guiding light...
[Outro]
...if you can hear me
G A G
Don't turn your back on the city
Bm
Then break the silence, send a signal back
G A G
Don't turn your back on the city
Then break the silence, send a signal back
Bm
I'm coming, all I need is a little guiding light
G A G A Bm
Don't turn your back on the city
G A G
Don't turn your back on the city
I'm coming, all I need is a little guiding light
Bm
If you can hear me
Bm
If you can hear me
Bm
If you can hear me
Bm
Don't turn your back on the city
