A D A D x2
[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 E
She said, "I was born down, left to wander
D A
I'm just trying to get free
D E
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 E
I was born down, left to wander
D A
I'm just trying to get free
D E
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
F#m
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
F#m
I've been primed for the kill
A
Boots on my wheels
A F#m 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 E
I was born down, left to wander
D A
I'm just trying to get free
D E
You took my mother, you took my father
D A D A A D A
Oh, but you're not gonna take me
