        Here we go...
 <Verse 1>
 C                    C Am                      G                     
  Break it down again   So those are my dreams  And these are my eyes
 C C Am 
   
               Bb                                                     
 Stand tall like a man Head strong like a horse When it's all mixed up
 C C Am 
    
                      C C                                             
 Better break it down   In the world of secrets In the world of sound
 
 <Chorus 1>
 F                              G7                   
  It's in the way you're always hiding from the light
 Am                              G/B                   
  See for yourself you have been sitting on a time bomb
 F                    G7                    
  No revolution maybe someone somewhere else
 Am                             G/B                         
  Could show you something new about you and your inner song
 F                             G7               
  And all the love and all the love in the world
 Am                                 Bb                        Bb                         
  Won't stop the rain from falling, Waste seeping underground  (break it down down again)
 Bb                       Bb                    
  I want to break it down  (break it down again)
 
 <Verse 2>
 C                    C Am                       G                      
  Break it down again   So those are my schemes  And these are my plans
 C C Am 
   
                 Bb                                                    
 Hot tips for the boys Fresh news from the force When it's all mixed up
 C C Am 
    
                     C C                                             
 Better break it down  In the world of silence In the world of sound
 
 <Chorus 2>
 F                              G7                
  No sleep for dreaming say the architects of life
 Am                             G/B                      
  Big bouncing babies bread and butter can I have a slice
 F                            G7             
  They make no mention of the beauty of decay
 Am                          G/B                    
  Blue yellow pink umberella save it for a rainy day
 F                             G7               
  And all the love and all the love in the world
 Am                                 Bb                        Bb                    
  Won't stop the rain from falling, Waste seeping underground  (break it down again)
 Bb                        Bb                  
  I want to break it down (break it down again)

 <Bridge>
 C               Dm                
  Horsing around  Pray to the power
 Am                                                 
  Play to the crowd with your big hit sound and they
 Bb                                          
  won't simmer won't simmer won't simmer down
 C                 Dm               Dm     
 Play to the crowd Pay to the crowd Play...
 
 <Final Chorus>
 F                              G7                   
  It's in the way you're always hiding from the light
 Am                                 G/B                 
  Fast off through heaven just like Moses on a motorbike
 F                    G7                    
  No revolution maybe someone somewhere else
 Am                               Bb                           Bb                  
  Could show you something new to help with the ups and downs (break it down again)
 Bb                       Bb                    Bb       Bb           Bb        Bb 
  I want to break it down (break it down again) break it down again... (break it
 Here we go...

 Break it down again, no more sleepy dreaming
