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