Take It Back [Bonus Track] chords by Ed Sheeran
Verse 1
Am
I'm not a rapper,
I'm a singer with a flow
I've got a habit of spitting
Quicker lyrics you know
F
You found me ripping the writtens
Out of the pages they sit in
Am
F
And never once I get bitten
Am
Because plagiarism is hidden
Which I would sit on the rhythm
Prisoner with a vision
Signs of a label,
but didn't listen to any criticism
F
Thought you knew but you didn't
So perk your ears up and listen
G
F
Studio is a system
And you could say
Am
that I'm driven
And now it's on to the next saga
We drink the best lager
I never tried to win you over
Like your stepfather
F
I do my own thing now,
G
and get respect after
C
Am
And I'm avoiding cocaine
like it was Get Carter
For four years I never had a place to stay
But it's safe to say that it kept
me grounded like a paperweight
F
Bb
At sixteen years old,
F
yeah I moved out of my home
G
F
I was Macy Gray I tried to say
goodbye and I choked
Am
And went from sleeping at
the subway station
To sleeping with a movie star
and adding to the population
F
Not my imagination,
I don't wanna relax
G
Would it hurt your reputation
if I put it on wax?
Verse 2
I'll take it back now
Am
Mmm, come on and take it back,
F
love
G
Am
F
Am
Come on and take it back for us
F
Don't you fade into the back, love
G
No
G#dim
Am
I take it back with the
New- Play with audio & scroll

Verse 3
rhythm and blues
With my rap pack
I'll be singing the news
Trying to act like Jack Black
when I bring 'em to school
F
I'll make a beat with my feet
by just hitting a loop
G
F
Bringing the lyrics to prove
that I can fit in these shoes
Am
I give you the truth through
the vocal booth
Stars burst out on the scene
like an opal fruit
F
They try and take aim like Beckham when
he goes to shoot
G
But then again that's what
F
they're supposed to do
Am
And I'm supposed to be calm
I tattooed the lyrics onto my arm
Whispering everything that happens
is from now on
F
I'll be ready to start again
at the end of the song
G
Still their claiming that
I handled it wrong
G#dim
Am
But then I never had an enemy,
except for NME
But I'll be selling twice as many copies
as the magazines will ever be
F
With only spectacles ahead
of me and festival fees
G
I'm healthier than a Dal
Am
matian on Pedigree
Singing for the masses
Rubber dinghy rapids
I keep this rapping a habit
F
And keep on fashioning magic
I'm battling for respect
I don't know if I'll have it
This songs from the heart
Cover the planet
Am
I'll take it back now
Verse 4
Am
Mmm, come on and take it back,
F
love
G
F
Am
Come on and take it back for us
F
Don't you fade into the back, love
G
No
Am
Take it back now
Verse 5
Am
Now I don't ever want to be perfect
'Cause I'm a singer that you
F
Never want to see shirtless
And I accept the fact that someone
has to win worst-dressed
Am
Taking Taking my first
G#
steps into the scene
Am
Giving me focus
Putting on a brave face,
like Timothy Dalton
Considering a name change
F
Thinking it was hopeless
Rhyming over recordings
Avoiding tradition
Am
'Cause every day some lyrics
And a melody can be written
Now absence can make your heart break
But drinking absinthe can change
your mind-state, vividly
vividly
F
I need to let my liver be
And I say it again
Living life on the edge
Am
G#
With a closed hand full of friends
F
Is good ad vice from a man
Am
Who took his life on the road with me
F
Am
And I hope to see him
blowing up globally
F
'Cause that's how it's supposed
to be
I'm screaming out vocally
Am
It might seem totally impossible
Achieving life's dreams
But, but I just write schemes
Dm
I'm never having a stylist,
Am
giving me tight jeans
F
Madison Square Garden
is where I might be
But more likely
G
You'll find me in the back
Am
Room of a dive bar with my mates
Having a pint with McDaid
Discussing records we made
And every single second knowing
That we'll never betray
F
The way we were raised
Am
Remembering our background
Sat down
G
Am
That's how we plan it out
G#dim
Am
It's time to take it back now
Verse 6
Mmm, come on and take it back,
F
love
G
Am
F
Am
Come on and take it back for us
F
Don't you fade into the back, love
G

No
Verse 7
