[Intro 1]
[D][Bm][D][Bm][D][Bm][D][Bm]

[Verse 1]
When [D]they found you,
you were driven [Bm]and hungry
You were [A]playin' for your [G]life then
You were liv[D]in' for [Bm]the
chance to be [A]heard
What they prom[D]ised,
what they [G]offered
Was [A]more than you'd ever [G]hoped for
To walk [D]away, ya' [Bm]know that
would've been ab[A]surd
And talk about ab[Bm]surdity, it was [G]madness
It was [A]everything [D]in ex[G]cess
It was too [D]much, too many,
[Bm]and too little time[A]
It was [D]faceless people in
jackets an[Bm]d ties
Who thought [A]of you when they
[G]made love to their wives
[D]Somehow, it wasn't what [Bm]you
had in [A]mind

[Verse 2]
[A][Chorus:]
Tell 'em you're Takin' It [Bm]Back
So they might as well get
[A]used to the [G]idea
You're Takin' It [Bm]Back,
those [A]co operation days [D]are [A]over
You got [Bm]no one to blame but yourself
So don't [A]put it on nobody [G]else
Put it be[D]hind you, start [G]over,
today
[D][Bm][D]

[Verse 3]
[Bm]
There were [D]parties and photos
and televised [Bm]award shows
And [A]covers of [G]magazines
There was [D]gold and platinum
and everyone [Bm]was smiling
You were [A]coming apart at the seems
There were jerk [D]offs too numerous
[G]to mention
When [A]everybody shared the dream
[G]But when it cam[D]e time
to share the night[Bm]mare
They were con[A]veniently nowhere

[Interlude 1]
to be seen
[A][Bm][A][G][Bm][A]

[Verse 4]
(Chor[D]us)

[Verse 5]
[A]Oh [Bm]they'[A]ll[G][D][G]
[D][Bm][A][D][A][D][A][D][A]
[D][Bm][A][G][D][Bm][A]
[D][G]
[A]arg[G]ue [D]wha[Bm]t the[A]y gave you was exactly what you wanted[D]
[A]And jus[D]t to be fair,
ya' know that some of it's [A]true[D]
[A]That's why ya' gotta be car[D]eful,
'bout your [G]wishes
Take your [A]time and think 'em [G]over
[D]Sometimes those wishes
[Bm]just might come true
[A]

[Verse 6]
Tell 'em you're Takin' It [Bm]Back
So they might as well get
[A]used to the [G]idea
You're Takin' It [Bm]Back,
those co[A]operation days [D]are [A]over
Tell 'em [Bm]you've had enough,
and if [A]they don't like it it's [G]tough
You're Takin' It [Bm]Back,
those co[A]operation days are [D]over[A]
You're Takin' It [Bm]Back[A]
[G]Tell 'em you're Takin' It [Bm]Back
[A][D][A]
