    • Verse 1
    Take 
    back 
    the 
    toys 

    that 
    you've 
    given 
    me 

    I 
    never 
    knew 
    what 
    to 
    do 
    with 
    them 
    anyway 

    I 
    never 
    knew 
    how 
    to break 
    out 
    the 
    box 

    I sink 
    the pebbles 
    and 

    boulders 
    and block
    s 

    Verse 2
    So 
    take 
    back 
    the toys 
    that 
    you threw 
    my 
    way 

    I 
    never 
    knew 
    what 
    to 
    do 
    with 
    them 
    anyway 

    I 
    never 
    knew 
    how 
    to break 
    out 
    the 
    box 

    I 
    guess 
    the 
    tables 

    were served 
    on 
    the rocks 

    Verse 3
    I've 
    been 
    down 

    on 
    the beaten 
    track 

    Just 
    holding 
    on, 
    holding 
    up, 

    holding 
    back 

    Given 
    not 
    what 
    I've 
    got 

    but 
    of 
    what 
    I lack 

    I 
    guess 
    that's 
    what 
    we've 

    been 
    taught 
    all 
    along 

    It's 
    the 
    time 
    for 
    poison 
    in 
    the 

    locks 
    that 
    I 
    got 
    for free 

    And 
    I've 
    been 
    pumping 
    the pill

    s 
    placed 
    in 
    front 
    of 
    me 

    But 
    I've 
    had 
    enough 
    baby 
    I'm 
    breaking 
    free 

    I 
    never 
    knew 
    why 
    it 
    would 

    take 
    me 
    so 
    long 

    Verse 4
    Take 
    back 
    the 
    toys 
    they are 

    des
    troying 
    me 

    Hear 
    what 
    I say? 
    I 
    say 

    Take 
    back 
    the 
    toys 
    that 
    you've 
    given 
    me 

    I 
    never 
    knew 
    what 
    to 
    do 
    with 
    them 
    anyway 

    I 
    never 
    knew 
    how 
    to break 
    out 
    the 
    box 

    I 
    sink 
    the pebbles 
    and 
    boulders 
    and 
    block
    s 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 5
    Open 
    my 
    eyes 
    to 
    what 
    I 
    despise 

    And 
    in 
    fourteen 
    seconds 
    or 
    more I 
    tear 
    it 
    down 

    Interlude 2



    You see 
    they 
    Verse 6
    give 

    you toys 
    just 
    to 
    distract 

    And 
    then 
    they break 
    your 
    mind 
    so 

    they 
    can 
    break 
    your 
    back 

    Got 
    you 
    in so 
    much 
    that 
    you 

    can't 
    pay 
    it 
    back

    And 
    that's 
    the 
    way 
    that 
    it 
    has 

    been 
    for far 
    too 
    long 

    Verse 7
    Take 
    back 
    the toys 
    they 

    are 
    des
    troying 
    me 

    Hear 
    what 
    I 
    say? 

    Take 
    back 
    the 
    toys 
    that 
    you've 

    given 
    me 
    (Take back 
    the 
    toys) 

    I 
    never 
    knew 
    what 
    to 
    do 
    with 
    them 

    anyway 
    (Take back the 
    toys) 

    I never 
    knew 
    how 
    to 
    break 
    out 
    the 

    box 
    (Take back 
    the toys) 

    I sink 
    the pebbles 
    and 
    boulders 
    and 

    blocks 
    (Take back the 
    toys) 

    Verse 8
    So 
    take 
    back 
    the 
    toys 
    that 
    you've 

    given 
    me (Take back 
    the 
    toys) 

    I 
    never 
    knew 
    what 
    to 
    do 
    with 
    them 

    anyway 
    (Take back 
    the 
    toys) 

    I 
    never 
    knew 
    how 
    to 
    break 
    out 
    the 
    box 

    (Take back the toys) 

    I guess 
    the 
    tables 
    served 
    on 
    the 

    rocks 
    (Take back the toys)

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
