                                                     Here we go...

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



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)



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



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)


  C Dm C/E  F    C Dm 
 F    Am Am Am Am



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...



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...



C     C    C     C
(no vocal 4 bars)
C              C      C              C
Break it down again,  no more sleepy dreaming
C                Am                Bb        F
No more building up, it is time to dissolve
C               Am     Bb             F           
   ~finis~
Break it down again,   no more sleepy dreaming.
