Take It Back [Bonus Track] Chords

Lyrics & chords

[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
You found me [F]ripping the writtens
Out of the pages they sit in
And never [Am]once I get bit[F]ten
Because plagiarism is hid[Am]den
Which I would sit on the rhythm
Prisoner with a vision
Signs of a label,
but didn't listen to any criticism
Thought you [F]knew but you didn't
So perk your ears up and listen
Stu[G]dio is a sys[F]tem
And you could say
that I'm driv[Am]en
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,
and get respect [G]after
And I'm [C]avoiding co[Am]caine
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]At sixteen [Bb]years old,
yeah I moved [F]out of my home
I was [G]Macy Gray I [F]tried to say
goodbye and I choked
And went from [Am]sleeping at
the subway station
To sleeping with a movie star
and adding to the population
Not my imagin[F]ation,
I don't wanna relax
Would it hurt your repu[G]tation
if I put it on wax?

[Verse 2]
I'll take it back now
[Am]Mmm, come on and take it back,
[F]love
Come [G]on and take it [Am]back [F]for [Am]us
Don't you fade into the back, [F]love
[G]No
[G#dim]I take it back with[Am] the

[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]Bringing the lyr[F]ics 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
They try and [F]take aim like Beckham when
he goes to shoot
But then [G]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
I'll be [F]ready to start again
at the end of the song
Still [G]their claiming that
I handled it wrong
[G#dim]But then I never had[Am] 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
And keep on fashioning ma[F]gic
I'm battling for respect
I don't know if I'll have it
This songs from the heart
Cover the planet
I'll take it [Am]back now

[Verse 4]
Mmm, come [Am]on and take it back,
[F]love
Come [G]on and take it [F]back [Am]for us
Don't you fade into the back, [F]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
Never want to see shirt[F]less
And I accept the fact that someone
has to win worst-dressed
Taking Taking [Am]my first
steps [G#]into the scene
[Am]Giving me focus
Putting on a brave face,
like Timothy Dalton
Considering a name change
Thinking it was [F]hopeless
Rhyming over recordings
Avoiding tradition
'Cause every [Am]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
I need to let [F]my liver be
And I say it again
Living life on the edge
[Am]With a closed hand full of [G#]friends
Is good [F]ad vice from a man
Who took his life on the road [Am]with me
[F]And I hope to [Am]see him
blowing up globally
'Cause [F]that's how it's supposed
to be
I'm screaming out vocally
It [Am]might seem totally impossible
Achieving life's dreams
But, but I just write schemes
I'm never having a styl[Dm]ist,
giving me [Am]tight jeans
Madison Square [F]Garden
is where I might be
But more likely
You'll find [G]me in the back
Room of a dive [Am]bar with my mates
Having a pint with McDaid
Discussing records we made
And every single second knowing
That we'll never betray
The way we [F]were raised
Remembering our [Am]background
Sat down
[G]That's how we [Am]plan it out
It's [G#dim]time to take i[Am]t back now

[Verse 6]
Mmm, come on and take it back,
[F]love
Come [G]on and take it [Am]back [F]for [Am]us
Don't you fade into the back, [F]love
[G]No[F]

[Verse 7]
[Am]Mmm, come on and take it back,
[F]love
Come [G]on and take it back [F]for [Am]us
Don't you fade into the back, [F]love
[F]No
[G][G#dim][Am]
