[Verse]
 
           Em                    G
It was the typical blues, it was more bad news
      Em                   G
I was walkin' down a dirty street
Em                G
Saw a man, I knew some years before
       Em                      G
On the corner where the losers meet
       Em                     G
He had rags on his back, as a matter of fact
      Em                G
Had a cold look on his face
       Em                         G
He was standin' in line, groanin' words to the kind
     Em                      G
As I passed I could hear him say, he said
A
Don't live your life by the dollar sign
     Em
Live life to the limit, that's the bottom line
A
No guarantees what tomorrow will bring
       B
Be the best at what you are, it's all a little insane
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em            D/F#
Breakin' loose, breakin' the chain
G                       A
You never know what the future will bring
Em              D
Breakin' loose, breakin' the spell
G                       A
I tried a part, now I'm playin' it well
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Em                        G
Professional man, had the world in his hands
   Em                    G
He arrived in the finest cars
Em               G
He posted up his lifetime success
      Em                    G
Every night at his favorite bar
   Em                    G
He got off the track, he never looked back
        Em              G
He's an upper class renegade
       Em                        G
Now he ain't got a dime just his peace of mind
       Em                    G
And he knows that he's got it made
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
Em            D/F#
Breakin' loose, breakin' the chain
G                       A
You never know what the future will bring
Em              D
Breakin' loose, breakin' the spell
G                       A
I tried a part, now I'm playin' it well
Em               D/F#
Breakin' loose, emotional bruise
G                   A
That's enough, It's time to go through
Em              D
Breakin' loose, cut the line
G                         A
It don't matter what your money can buy

[Chorus 3]
 
Em            D/F#
Breakin' loose, breakin' the chain
G                       A
You never know what the future will bring
Em              D
Breakin' loose, breakin' the spell
G                       A
I tried a part, now I'm playin' it well
Em               D/F#
Breakin' loose, emotional bruise
G                   A
That's enough, It's time to go through
Em              D
Breakin' loose, cut the line
G                         A
It don't matter what your money can buy
