I really like this song as an acoustic-y version so created this version how I play it. In final chorus at the end, lyrics in (brackets) to be sung in duet/harmony as in the original version. For anyone learning solo just ignore the text in brackets. [Intro] Em C G D Em C G D Em C G G [Verse 1]
               G           C           G
He won't tell her, what is   going on,

D         G                C           G
He won't tell her, what is   going on,

               C
Well try, oh, try, oh-

           G        D    G
Lie, oh, lie-e, oh-

                          C
He won't tell her what is   going on.
[Chorus 1]
C                         Em           G      D
You may think that he's a   demolition expert,

                        Em
When he's finished with your self-esteem,

G    Em     C
  It may be true,

            Em              G    Em
We all need knocking down a few,

D
  Oh, come find shelter,

      Em              G
Oh, your shelter with me,

Em    D
Wi-th me.

D     G
Brea-kaway.
[Guitar only] D G C G C G G [Verse 2]
          G           C               G
She don't like, to dis-turb the peace,

                        C
Became attached, to the,  weak at least,

            G
She's got di-amonds, to,

            C
Show for it,  that

        G             C
Tree of gold, for it, well

          G            C               G
She don't like, to dis-turb the peace,
[Chorus 2]
C                         Em                 G
You may think that he's a master of disguise,

D                             Em          G
  You lost your dignity, you  --  compromi-ised,

C                             Em              G    D
  It may be true, we all need knocking down a few,

                           Em                 G
Come find shelter, oh your,   shelter with me,

        D
With me,
[Interlude]
D     G         Em    D
Break-away, oh, break-away, oh, 

D     G         Em    D
Break-away, oh, break-away, oh, 

D     G         Em    D
Break-away, oh, break-away, oh, 

D     G         Em    D
Break-away, oh, break-away, oh, 

Em                    D
Break-away, oh, Break-away, oh, 

Em                    D
Break-away, oh, Break-away, oh, 
[Final Chorus]
C
You--,                                                          (breakaway, oh),

                          Em            G      D
You may think that he's a    demolition expert,                 (breakaway, oh),

                             Em        G
When he's finished with your    self-esteem,                    (breakaway, oh),

   C                          Em              G
It   may be true, we all need knocking down a few,              (breakaway, oh),

D                           Em                 G         D
  Come find shelter oh your    shelter with me,  with me,       (breakaway, oh),

Breakaway, oh,

G    D
