Take It Back Now Teclado

	  


D 
I'm not a rapper; I'm a singer with a flow I've got a habit of spitting quicker lyrics you know 
                     Bb 
You found me ripping the writtens out of the pages they sit in 
     C 
and I never want to get bittenbecause plagiarism is hidden 
         D 
Watch how I sit on the rhythm, prisoner with a vision Signs of LA, but didn't listen to any criticism 
Bb 
Thought you knew but you didn't so perk your ears up and listen 
C 
Studio with a system and you could say that I'm driven 
D 
And now it's on to the next saga we drink the best lager, I never tried to win you over  
like your stepfather 
Bb 
I do my own thing now, and get respect after 
C 
And I'm avoiding cocaine like it was Get Carter 

D 
For four years I never had a place to stay but it's safe to say that it kept me grounded  
like a paperweight 
Bb 
At 16 years old I moved out of my home 
C 
I was Macy Gray I tried to say goodbye and I choked 
D 
And we've been sleeping at the subway station, sleeping with a movie star and adding to the population 
Bb 
Not my imagination, I don't want to relax 
C 
But would it hurt your reputation,if I put it on wax? So take it back now... 


D                         Bb 
Come on and take it back now 
C 
Come on and take it back now 
D                                 Bb  C 
Dont you fade into the back now 


D 
Take it back with the rhythm and blues and my back pack I'll be singing the news, 
trying to act like Jack Black (???) 
Bb 
I'll make a beat with my feet by just singing a loop, 
C 
bringing the lyrics to prove that I can fit in these shoes, 
D 
and keeping the truth through the vocal booth, stars burst out on the scene like an opal fruit, 
Bb 
they try and take aim like beckham when he goes to shoot, 
C 
but then again that's what they're supposed to do, 
    D 
and I'm supposed to be calm,I tattooed the lyrics onto my arm, whispering everything  
that happens is from now on, 
Bb 
I'll be willing to start again at the end of the song, 
C 
still they think I handled it wrong, 
D 
but then I never had an enemy, except for NME, but I'll be selling twice as many copies  
as the magazines will ever be, 
Bb 
and got me spectacles ahead of me and festival fees, 
C 
to help me with a Dalmatian, no pedigree 
D, 
singing for the masses, rubber dinghy rapids,keep this rapping a habit and keep on 
passioning magic, 
Bb 
I'm battling for the respect, 
C 
I don't know if I'll have it, this songs from the heart, grabbing the plaque I'll take it back now 

D                         Bb 
Come on and take it back now 
C 
Come on and take it back now 
D                                 Bb  C 
Dont you fade into the back 


Same chord progression continues 

Take it back now 
I don't ever want to be perfect, 
Cause I'm a singer that you 
never want to see shirtless 
I accept the fact that someone has to win the worst-dressed, 
Taking my first steps into the scene, 
giving me focus 
Putting on a brave face, like Timothy Dalton 
Considering a name change, 
thinking it was hopeless 
Rhyming over recordings 
Avoiding tradition 
Cause every day some lyrics 
and a melody can be written 
Now absence can make your heart ache 
But drinking absinthe can change your mind-state, vividly, 
I need to let my liver be 
And I say it again, 
Living life on the edge, 
with a closed hand full of friends 
Is good advice from a man 
who took his life on the road with me 
And I hope to see him blowing up globally 
Cause that's how it's supposed to be 
screaming out vocally 
Might seem totally impossible 
achieving life's dreams 
But, but I just write schemes 
I'm never having a stylist, giving me tight jeans 
Madison Square Garden is where I might be 
But more likely, 
You'll find me in the back 
room of a dive bar with my mates 
Having a pint with McDaid 
Discussing records we made 
And every single second knowing 
that we'll never betray 
The way we were raised 
Remembering our background 
Sat down 
That's how we put it out; 
it's time to take it back now 

D                         Bb 
Come on and take it back now 
C 
Come on and take it back now 
D                                 Bb  C 
Dont you fade into the back now 

D                         Bb 
Come on and take it back now 
C 
Come on and take it back now 
D                                 Bb  C 
Dont you fade into the back now 

My dreams keep me awake at night 
Written in rhymes, and lies, deliver the hype 
Am I just living the lie 
With this you must know that the number's just sold woah 
Will keep me going through the tough times, dream with me 
We forget 90 per cent of it when we wake 
But the other 10 per cent it never fades 
Dreaming dreams, day to day goals 
Stay awake loads, try to make the cut like the 
Paper or razor blade, never give up 
And just remember just to hold out more 
A couple years ago 
I couldn't just control that thought 
You'd find me buskin' on the street 
When it was cold outdoors 
And now I'm sweating on the stage 
With the sold out tours 
Writing love songs for the sake of it 
Never to make a hit 
You can't fake talent and work ethic just to make it quick 
I'm not a rapper I'm a singer, I just take the piss and 
Most of these other guys are guys that pose 
His little sister has to babysit, that's just a way it is 
Dreams you own, just set your goals 
And have the utmost faith in it; tread your own path 
You'll never make it as a follower, you'll never know 
Where you will go or where you will be tomorrow
