Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
I've got [Am]a house in
the back of my head
But I [F]can't find a permanent
resident
'Cause the [Am]market's down
And the area's not so [F]good these days
I've [Am]got a watch

[Verse 2]
but I don't have time
I've got a [F]road and it leads to decadence
But a [Am]dead end sign waits down the line
I leave my [G]footprints for the [F]evidence

[Verse 3]
So [C]take my life, I'll [F]hand it to you
And you [Am]can try on my clothes
But [F]you can't fill these shoes
On a [Am]silver platter your wish came true
So your [C]heart of gold
turned platin[Csus4]um
[C]You can [Dm]take my [F]life (oh)
[G]But you can't take it with [Am]you

[Interlude 1]
[Am][F]

[Verse 4]
[Am]More long days and fleeting nights
I tell [F]them, "Wake me under
flashing lights"
'Cause I'm a [Am]brand name bought
and [F]sold
(Sold, sold, sold)
They say a [Am]face for fame is
a crying shame
Because to [F]face the crowd
is to play [C]the [F]game
[G]And I c[Am]an play a little too rough
Now [F]and again (every now
[G]and again)

[Verse 5]
You drank the [G]poison [F]and I let you in

[Verse 6]
So [C]take my life, I'll [F]hand it to you
And you can [Am]try on my clothes
But you [F]can't fill these [C]shoes
[G]On a [Am]silver platter your wish came true
So your [C]heart of gold turned platinum
You can [Dm]take my [F]life (oh)
But you [G]can't take it [Am]with [F]you[C][G][Dm]
[Am][F]

[Interlude 2]
[C][Dm][Am][F][C][G][Am][F][C][G][Am]
You drank [G]the poison

[Verse 7]
and I,
[Am]I let you in
[F]Would you trade [Dm]that [G]heart of gold for
[Am]a minute in [F]my [Dm]skin?[G][Am]
[F]You drank [Dm]the [G]poison and I[Am],
I [F]let [Dm]you [Am]in
Would [F]you trade [Dm]that heart [Am]of gold
for a minute [F]in [Am]my s[G]kin?
[Am]So take

[Verse 8]
[C]my [Am]life,[C] I'll hand[F] it to you
And you can [Am]try on my clothes
But you [F]can't fill these shoes
On [Am]a silver platter your wish came true
So your [C]heart of gold turned platinum
You can [Dm]take [F]my life (oh)
But you [G]can't take it [C]with [Am]you[F]
