Take It Back Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Al[E]right, this next one's a little bit different and I've only played it once and I always get a little nervous [A]before I play it,
but we'll see how [E]it goes.[Em][E][G][E]
[Esus4]Well, airwaves ring loud
[Em]With all the [G]things they don't say
You [D]writers and pundits
You're the
[A]Judas today
[Em]Cause you sit [C]back and w[G]atch
while [D]the world catches fire
And then you [C]don't say [Bm]a word while
the [C]stakes just [G]get [Em]higher[E]
The
[Esus4]NSA's listening and t[E]her[Em]e's
[G]a war that won't end
But [D]you fill up my head with
all [A]manner of spin
[Em]You twis[C]t a simple truth[G] till
it's [D]not what it seems
And [C]the illusion of [Bm]freedom,
it's a real
[C]American [Em]dream[E]
So [Em]people, [G]you've got to tur[D]n
your voice to a shock
You've got [Em]to open your eyes up and look
what's [C]happening right now
Cause there's [G]a coup going [D]down,
oh and [E]this [Em]is a fact
[C]Soon if you wan[G]t to be fre[D]e,
you'll have to [Em]take [C]it back
If you [G]want to be [D]free,
you'll have to [A]take it [E]back[G][D][A][E]
To the callous politician who [Em]sends
[G]boys on killing missions
And insist[D]s back in smiles while
the blood [A]money keeps drip[E]ping
[Em]Don't [C]say you serve [G]me
or anyone [D]else
Cause you're a [C]fucking blood[G]suck[Bm]er,
you're just [C]serving [Em]your[E]self
You [Esus4]send the truth [E]on vacation,
the [Em]age of m[G]isinformation
As [D]dawn from the old town to the
old [A]slave plantation[E]s
[Em]And libe[C]rty, democ[G]racy and all the r[D]est
Are just [C]words that [Bm]meant one thing
and now [C]mean [Em]so much [E]less
But [Esus4]you talk [E]like a saint,
[Em]so right[G]eous and pure
But while [D]people, they suffer,
your pock[A]ets get full
[Em]And you want[C] me to t[G]hink that
[D]you keep this world turning
While the [C]smoke, keeps [Bm]rising,
it's [C]our future [Em]burning
[E]So peo[Em]ple you[G]'ve got,
[D]turn your voice to a shout
[Em]You've gotta open your eyes up and look
what's [C]happening right now
Cause there's a [G]good going [D]down,
oh and [Em]this is a fact
[C]Soon if you wan[G]na be free you[D]'ll
have to [Em]take [C]it back
If you [G]want to be [D]free,
you'll have to [A]take it [E]back[G][D][A][E]
When I finally look out on [Em]my last [G]setting sun
I [D]won't leave the world a better
place [A]than when I did come
[Em]It's hard [C]for doing noth[G]ing's
long since [D]coming home
People [C]open your eye[Bm]s,
look at [C]what's go[Em]ing o[E]n

[Outro 1]
