F# G#
Sorry guys I didn't realize
that I needed you so much
F# G#
I thought I'd get a new
audience I forgot that
           F# G#
disco sucks  I ended up
with nobody and I started
            F G#
feeling dumb  Maybe I
should play the lead guitar
and Pat should play the drums

Chorus:
        G#
Take me back back
        F#
to the shack Back
         G#
to the strat with
                F#
the lightning strap
             G#
Kick in the door
          F#
more hardcore
         G#
Rocking out like it's
 F#           G#
94 Let's turn up the
    F#
radio Let's turn off
       G#
those stupid singing
 F#           G#
shows I know where
            F#
we need to go Back
        G#  F#
to the shack

I finally settled down
with my girl and I
made up with my dad
I had to go and make
a few mistakes so I
could find out who I
am I'm letting all of
these feelings out even
if it means I fail Cause
this is what I was meant
to do and you can't
put that on sale

Chorus

      G#
We belong in the
rock world There
is so much left
            C# D#
to do If we die
      Cm  Fm
in obscurity oh
A#m     D#
well At least we
raised some hell

Chorus:
Take me back,
back to the shack
Back to the strat
with the lightning strap
Kick in the door,
more hardcore
Rockin' out like it's '94
Let's turn up the radio
Turn off those
stupid singing shows
I know where we need to go
Back to the shack
