Brake between Verse and Chorus

D|9--777---9|-9|-9|-9--14--12--11-|
A|7--------------------12--10--9--|

For a "cleaner" sound in the Chorus you can move the 
3rd power chord from E-7/A-9 to A-2/D-4:

G|------99-------99-|
D|-999--77--444--77-|
A|-777------222-----|
E|------------------|

Or simply D-9/G-11, as in the Verse:

G|------99--11|11|11|11-----99-|
D|-999--77---9|-9|-9|-9-----77-|
A|-777-------------------------|
E|-----------------------------|
