DMBTabs, Welcome to it. You're new so I can't get mad, but there's a decent search function here. Stay around a while. Credit to Pat MacInnis:

Break Free
Drop D Tuning

E------------------------------------------
B------------------------------------------
G------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------(2)-----
A-----5--4-----4h5p4---4----4--2----2--0---
D--0--------4--------7----2-------2--------

"I'll drink your poison if you fill the cup..."
E--------------------
B--------------------
G--------------------
D--7----7----7----4--
A--7----7----7----4--
D--7----6----5----4--

Then, for the third measure (I think the placement of this part may change as the song advances), play this:
E-----------------------------------
B-----------------------------------
G-----------------------------------
D--7----7----7----------------------
A--7----7----7-------------0--2--4--
D--7----6----5----2--4--5-----------

"But the way she loves me..."
E---------------------------------------------------------------
B----------------2----------------------------------------------
G----------------2----------------------------------------------
D----------------2------------------4------------------2--hold--
A--5--4----2--0--0----5--4----2--0--4----5--4----2--0--2--------
D-----------------------------------4------------------2--------

Lead into "Drink your poison..."
-This lead in takes the place of the Amaj chord. (So start with 4x222-)

E----------------
B----------------
G----------------
D----------------
A--5--4----2--0--
D----------------

Breakdown/Jam

The progression is D - F#m - G - D-A
Experiment with different variations of the chords. Also, Dave doesn't hit that last A chord. He just stays on the D. (Upon second listen, he might hit the A chord occasionaly) I think it sounds better if you include that pulse of the A chord.

Once again, fill this out by playing full chords and whatnot. Dave has a band backing him, so he doesn't really need to, but Joe Shmoe with an acoustic guitar might want to spice it up a bit.

E------------------------
B------------------------
G------------------------
D--0----4----5----0--7*--
A--0----4----5----0--7---
D--0----4----5----0--7---

*Not played by Dave.
