Verse 1

Break it down again

So those are my dreams

And these are my eyes

Stand tall like a man

Headstrong like a horse

When it's all mixed up

Better break it down

Oo, oo. Oo, oo

In the world of secrets

In the world of sound

Oo, oo

(play second small lead line)

Chorus 1

F* G

It's in the way you're always hiding from the light

See for yourself, you have been sitting on a time bomb

F* G

No revolution maybe someone somewhere else

Could show you something new about you and your inner song

F* G

And all the love, and all the love in the world

Won't stop the rain from falling

Waste sleeping underground (break it down again)

I want to break it down (break it down again)

Verse 2

Break it down again

So those are my schemes

And these are my plans

Hot tips for the boys

Fresh news from the force

When it's all mixed up

Better break it down

Oo, oo. Oo, oo

In the world of silence

In the world of sound

Oo, oo

(play second small lead line)

Chorus 2

F* G

"No sleep for the dreaming" say the architects of life

Big bouncing babies, bread and butter can I have a slice?

F* G

They make no mention of the beauty of decay

Blue, yellow, pink umbrella, save it for a rainy day

F* G

And all the love, and all the love in the world

Won't stop the rain from falling

Waste sleeping underground (break it down again)

I want to break it down (break it down again)

Bridge

Repeat intro over the oohs twice

Oo, oo. Oo, oo

Horsing around

Pray to the power

Play to the crowd with your big hit sound

And they won't simmer, won't simmer, won't simmer down

Play to the crowd

Chorus 3

F* G

It's in the way you're always hiding from the light

Last off to heaven just like Moses on a motorbike

F* G

No revolution maybe someone somewhere else

Could show you something new to help with the ups and downs (Break it down again)

I want to break it down (Break it down again)

(Break it down again)

Outro

Break it down again

Bbsus2 F*

No more sleepy dreaming (Start oohs to finish on "No more building up")

No more building up

Bbsus2 F*

It is time to dissolve

Break it down again

Bbsus2 F* C/G

No more sleepy dreaming
