    Verse 1
    When 
    they found 
    you, 

    you 
    were 
    driven 
    and 
    hungry 

    You 
    were 
    playin' 
    for 
    your 
    life 
    then 

    You 
    were 
    liv
    in' 
    for 
    the 

    chance 
    to 
    be 
    heard 

    What 
    they prom
    ised, 

    what 
    they 
    offered 

    Was 
    more 
    than 
    you'd 
    ever 
    hoped 
    for 

    To 
    walk 
    away, 
    ya' 
    know 
    that 

    would've 
    been 
    ab
    surd 

    And 
    talk 
    about 
    ab
    surdity, 
    it 
    was 
    mad
    ness 

    It 
    was 
    everything 
    in 
    ex
    cess 

    It 
    was 
    too 
    much, 
    too 
    many, 

    and 
    too 
    little 
    time 

    It 
    was 
    face
    less 
    people 
    in 

    jackets 
    an
    d 
    ties 

    Who 
    thought 
    of you 
    when 
    they 

    made 
    love 
    to 
    their 
    wives 

    Somehow, 
    it 
    wasn't 
    what 
    you 

    had 
    in 
    mind 

    Verse 2
    [Chorus:] 

    Tell 'em 
    you're 
    Takin' 
    It 
    Back 

    So 
    they 
    might 
    as 
    well 
    get 

    used 
    to 
    the 
    idea 

    You're 
    Takin' 
    It 
    Back
    , 

    those 
    co
    operation 
    days 
    are 
    over 

    You 
    got 
    no 
    one 
    to 
    blame 
    but 
    yourself 

    So 
    don't 
    put 
    it 
    on 
    nobody 
    else 

    Put 
    it 
    be
    hind 
    you, start 
    over, 

    today 

    Verse 3

    There 
    were 
    parties 
    and 
    photos 

    and 
    televised 
    award 
    shows 

    And 
    covers 
    of 
    magazines 

    There 
    was 
    gold 
    and 
    platinum 

    and 
    everyone 
    was smiling 

    You 
    were 
    coming 
    apart 
    at 
    the seems 

    There 
    were 
    jerk 
    offs 
    too numerous 

    to mention 

    When 
    everybody 
    shared 
    the dream 

    But 
    when 
    it 
    came 
    time 

    to share 
    the night
    mare 

    They 
    were 
    con
    veniently 
    nowhere 

    Interlude 1
    to 
    be seen 


    Verse 4
    (Chor
    us) 

    Verse 5
    Oh 
    they'll 




    argue 
    what 
    they 
    gave 
    you 
    was 
    exactly 
    what 
    you 
    wanted 

    And 
    just 
    to 
    be 
    fair, 

    ya' 
    know 
    that 
    some 
    of it's 
    true 

    That's 
    why 
    ya' 
    gotta 
    be 
    care
    ful, 

    'bout 
    your 
    wishes 

    Take 
    your 
    time 
    and 
    think 
    'em 
    over 

    Sometimes 
    those 
    wishes 

    just 
    might 
    come 
    true 

    Verse 6

    Tell 
    'em 
    you're 
    Takin' 
    It 
    Back

    So 
    they 
    might 
    as 
    well 
    get 

    used 
    to the 
    idea 

    You're 
    Takin' 
    It 
    Back, 

    those 
    co
    operation 
    days 
    are 
    over 

    Tell 
    'em 
    you've 
    had 
    enough, 

    and 
    if 
    they 
    don't 
    like 
    it 
    it's 
    tough 

    You're 
    Takin' 
    It 
    Back, 

    those 
    co
    operation 
    days 
    are 
    over

    You're 
    Takin' 
    It 
    Back 

    Tell 
    'em 
    you're 
    Takin' 
    It 
    Back

      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 🙂

      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.
