[Verse 1]
A        Bm
When you take out the figures
A       Bm
And you pull all the triggers
G           A
Well you're taking me back
G          A
Yes you're taking me back

A        Bm
When you listen to mystics
A      Bm
As you lay at your picnics
G           A
Well you're taking me back
G       A
You are taking me back

[Chorus 1]
Bm  G#  Bm  D  A

E               Bm  G#  Bm  D  A
I'll bet you do
Bm              Bm  G#  Bm  D  A
But not for long
E               Bm  G#  Bm  D  A
I'm alone
Bm
But not for long

[Verse 2]
A        Bm
When I'm down on the floor you'll see
A    Bm
That no one will notice me
G    A                  G
Well breaking my back
A
Breaking my back

         Bm
When you drop the mail off to me
A   Bm
And make us both coffee
G       A
Are you taking it black ?
G       A
Are you taking me back ?

[Verse 3]
A        Bm
When you forgive the friction
A       Bm
And you talk about Christmas
G       A                 G
Are you taking me back ?
A
Taking me back

A      Bm
When I recall the history
A     Bm
These kids are a mystery
G       A
They're taking me back
G        A
They are taking me back
