A         B
When you take out the figures
A        B             G
And you pull all the triggers
             A
Well you're taking me back
You're taking me back

When you listen to mystics
As you lay at your picnics
You're taking me back
You're taking me back

Chorus:
E
I'll bet you do
             B
But not for long
      E
I'm alone
             B
But not for long

When I'm down on the floor
You'll see that no one will notice me
It's breaking my back
Breaking my back

When you drop the mail off to me
And make us both coffee
Are you taking it black?
Are you taking me back?

Chorus:
E
(I'll bet you do, I'll bet you do)
But not for long
(I'll bet you, I'll bet you do)
I'll bet you do feel alone
But not for long

Breaking my back
It's breaking my back
Wow
Yeah

When you forgive the friction
And you talk about Christmas
Are you taking me back?
Taking me back

When I recall the history
These kids are a mystery
They're taking me back
They are taking me back

Taking me back
Taking me back
I'll bet you do
I'll bet, I'll bet you
Do
