Take It Back Chords & Tabs
this is from Ed Robertson's Bathroom Sessions (fyi, he's BNL's guitarist)
intro: G, Gmaj7 (3X0032), Em7sus (020030), C7sus (x30030)
G Gmaj7 Em7 C7sus
It's hard enough to notice
Harder still to react
Just a stone's throw from the centre of our attention
G D Cadd9
We all faaaaaaaade to black
G Dsus4 Em7 Csus2-hammer a few times to Cadd9
Save me from a villainous imagination
Deliver me from my friends
If I said something to make you mad
G D Cadd9
I will taaaaaaaake it back
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/barenaked_ladies/take_it_back_crd.html ]
FOR THIS STANZA, PLAY SAME CHORDS AS CHORUS
It's hard enough to stomach
But try to look away
Is this a news report or a trailer for a motion picture?
It all fades to grey
Save me from a villainous imagination
Deliver me from my friends
If I said something to make you mad
I will take it back
Dsus4 A7sus4 Em7 Cadd9
Long lines and warning signs
Think of all the lives saved by plastic knives
It's naive, but make-believe
Dsus4 A7sus4 Em7 Cadd9 Fmaj13 (010010)
We will never lose if we remove our shoes
FOR THIS VERSE, PLAY THE FIRST LINE LIKE THE FIRST VERSE, AND REST LIKE THE SECOND
It's hard to keep your mouth shut
Harder still to make noise
But we can't have the perfect 20/20 hindsight
That our fate enjoys
So save me from a villainous imagination
Deliver me from my friends
And if I said something to make you mad
I will take it back
I will take it back
