Riff 1: e|--------------0-- B|--------------0-- G|--------------0-- D|--------------2-- A|--------------2-- E|--3--5--3--2--0-- VERSE 1: G Cadd9 G The Texas sun beats down upon me like the Devil's smile. G Cadd9 G I'd rather be anywhere else than here. G Cadd9 Was it a blinding lack of subtlety G Or just a lack of style G Cadd9 G Riff 1 Responding to the ways and means of fear? CHORUS: Em7 G Take me back to New Orleans Cadd9 D And drop me at my door. Am C 'Cause I might love you, yeah, G But I love me more. VERSE 2: G Cadd9 G My fingertips are bitten 'til there's nothing left but skin. G Cadd9 G I'd rather be anyone else right now. G Cadd9 The light that shone within my eyes G Is slowly growing dim. G Cadd9 G Riff 1 She told me where, told me when, but never said how. CHORUS: Em7 G Take me back to New Orleans Cadd9 D Dsus2 D And don't call me anymore. Am Asus2 Am C 'Cause I might love you, yeah, G But I love me more. BRIDGE: Cadd9 (She said) How can I make this unhappen? G Em7 (I said) You cannot make this unhappen. D Dsus2 D G Choose before your choices fade away. Cadd9 (She said) I could be home by tomorrow G Em7 (She said) If I could beg, steal, or borrow. Am C I said you're there, you might as well stay. VERSE 3: G Cadd9 G The morning mist arises through another crack in the glass. G Cadd9 G The lack of sleep has made me numb. G Cadd9 But sometimes when she sleeps G She'll turn and she'll whisper his name. G Cadd9 G Riff 1 That cake must taste great but I'll pass when you offer me some. CHORUS: Em7 G Take me back to New Orleans Cadd9 D Dsus2 D And drop me at my door. Am C 'Cause I might love you, yeah, G Riff 1 But I love me more. END CHORUS: Em7 G Take me back to New Orleans Cadd9 D Dsus2 D And don't call me anymore. Am C 'Cause I might love you, yeah. Am Cadd9 I might love you, yeah. Am C I might love you, yeah, G But I love me more. F G I love me more. F G F G End on G I love me more.
