[Verse 1]
C# F#
She was dressed in a fit of illusion
C# F#
Indigo sun skirt, jet black hair
C# F#
She was alive with the devil inside
C# F#
Just burnin' and bruised with a cataract stare
C# F#
She was on all about the time down in Mexico City
C# F#
When the devil took her down to make make her look pretty
C#
I'd give you the world if you'd just give me your skin
F# C#
And I'll, I'll take you places that you've never been
[Chorus]
F# G#
She said, "I was born down, left to wander
F# C#
I'm just trying to get free
F# G#
You took my mother, you took my father
F# C# F# C#
Oh, but you're not gonna take me
C# F# C# C# F# C#
No, no, you're not"
C# F# C#
[Verse 2]
C# F#
Backpack tied, full of loose ends
C# F#
She was sinkin' down, overflowin'
C# F#
And tuggin' and tearin' just to keep it all in
C# F#
But the seams come undone to the fate you stole
C# F#
She said, "Get me a drink and make it a double
C# F#
Gonna need some miracle to knock out this trouble
C# F#
"You're not gonna win", she screamed to the sky
C#
And said, "I'll keep on runnin' 'til the day I die, yeah"
[Chorus]
F# G#
I was born down, left to wander
F# C#
I'm just trying to get free
F# G#
You took my mother, you took my father
F# C# F# C# C# F# C#
Oh, but you're not gonna take me, no, no, no
[Post-Chorus]
C#
No, you're not
C#
No, you're not gonna take
C#
No, you're not
C#
No, you're not gonna take
F#
No, you're not
F#
No, you're not gonna take
C#
[Bridge]
C#
I've got hounds on my heels
A#m
Trying to crawl into my flesh and trying to tell me how to feel
C# F#
I've got hounds on my heels
C#
Sleepless hounds just follow me like I'm their only meal
A#m
I've been primed for the kill
C#
Boots on my wheels
C# A#m F#
Hounds on my heels
[Verse 3]
C# F#
Constantly strayed, the renegade arose
C# F#
But the devil-hot stones under fiery throws
C# F#
He said, "There's nothin' I can do to hang up the demon, but
C#
I'll lock you up if you keep on screamin'"
[Chorus]
F# G#
I was born down, left to wander
F# C#
I'm just trying to get free
F# G#
You took my mother, you took my father
F# C# F# C# C# F# C#
Oh, but you're not gonna take me
[Outro]
C#
No, you're not
C#
No, you're not gonna take
C#
No, you're not
C#
No, you're not gonna take
F#
No, you're not
F#
No, you're not gonna take
C#
No, you're not
N.C.
No, you're not gonna take
