E A E A x2
[Verse 1]
E A
She was dressed in a fit of illusion
E A
Indigo sun skirt, jet black hair
E A
She was alive with the devil inside
E A
Just burnin' and bruised with a cataract stare
E A
She was on all about the time down in Mexico City
E A
When the devil took her down to make make her look pretty
E
I'd give you the world if you'd just give me your skin
A E
And I'll, I'll take you places that you've never been
[Chorus]
A B
She said, "I was born down, left to wander
A E
I'm just trying to get free
A B
You took my mother, you took my father
A E A E
Oh, but you're not gonna take me
E A E E A E
No, no, you're not"
E A E
[Verse 2]
E A
Backpack tied, full of loose ends
E A
She was sinkin' down, overflowin'
E A
And tuggin' and tearin' just to keep it all in
E A
But the seams come undone to the fate you stole
E A
She said, "Get me a drink and make it a double
E A
Gonna need some miracle to knock out this trouble
E A
"You're not gonna win", she screamed to the sky
E
And said, "I'll keep on runnin' 'til the day I die, yeah"
[Chorus]
A B
I was born down, left to wander
A E
I'm just trying to get free
A B
You took my mother, you took my father
A E A E E A E
Oh, but you're not gonna take me, no, no, no
[Post-Chorus]
E
No, you're not
E
No, you're not gonna take
E
No, you're not
E
No, you're not gonna take
A
No, you're not
A
No, you're not gonna take
E
[Bridge]
E
I've got hounds on my heels
C#m
Trying to crawl into my flesh and trying to tell me how to feel
E A
I've got hounds on my heels
E
Sleepless hounds just follow me like I'm their only meal
C#m
I've been primed for the kill
E
Boots on my wheels
E C#m A
Hounds on my heels
[Verse 3]
E A
Constantly strayed, the renegade arose
E A
But the devil-hot stones under fiery throws
E A
He said, "There's nothin' I can do to hang up the demon, but
E
I'll lock you up if you keep on screamin'"
[Chorus]
A B
I was born down, left to wander
A E
I'm just trying to get free
A B
You took my mother, you took my father
A E A E E A E
Oh, but you're not gonna take me
[Outro]
E
No, you're not
E
No, you're not gonna take
E
No, you're not
E
No, you're not gonna take
A
No, you're not
A
No, you're not gonna take
E
No, you're not
N.C.
No, you're not gonna take
