G#m        B        G#m    B  G#m B F# C#
This time girl I've had enough
You're too hot to handle with kid gloves
It's too late I hear a knock on the door
The game's over baby I can't take it no more

Chorus:
     G#m
Breakout, Breakout
Take these chains from me
    F#
You held my heart for ransom
Baby, set it free
     E
Breakout, Breakout
Your lies can't hide what I see
    C#m              F#
I'm better off on my own

Promises made me in the heat of the night
Those words were broken under bedroom lights
Your lips they burn your body calls my name
I can feel the fire but it's all in vain

Chorus - x2

You're gonna make me feel alright
F#         C#        G#m    B
I'm saying oh no not tonight
