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