Verse 1
D
When they found you,
Bm
you were driven and hungry
A
G
You were playin' for your life then
D
Bm
You were livin' for the
A
chance to be heard
D
What they promised,
G
what they offered
A
G
Was more than you'd ever hoped for
D
Bm
To walk away, ya' know that
A
would've been absurd
Bm
G
And talk about absurdity, it was madness
A
D
G
It was everything in excess
D
It was too much, too many,
Bm
A
and too little time
D
It was faceless people in
Bm
jackets and ties
A
Who thought of you when they
G
made love to their wives
D
Bm
Somehow, it wasn't what you
A
had in mind
Verse 2
A
[Chorus:]
Bm
Tell 'em you're Takin' It Back
So they might as well get
A
G
used to the idea
Bm
You're Takin' It Back,
A
D
A
those co operation days are over
Bm
You got no one to blame but yourself
A
G
So don't put it on nobody else
D
G
Put it behind you, start over,
today

Verse 3
Bm
D
There were parties and photos
Bm
and televised award shows
A
G
And covers of magazines
D
There was gold and platinum
Bm
and everyone was smiling
A
You were coming apart at the seems
D
There were jerk offs too numerous
G
to mention
A
When everybody shared the dream
G
D
But when it came time
Bm
to share the nightmare
A
They were conveniently nowhere

A
D
And just to be fair,
A
D
ya' know that some of it's true
A
D
That's why ya' gotta be careful,
G
'bout your wishes
A
G
Take your time and think 'em over
D
Sometimes those wishes
Bm
just might come true
