[Intro]
 
A  D  A
 
[Verse 1]
         NC         A
You put salt in the wound
      D          A
And a kiss on my cheek
    Bm        F#m
You butter me up
        D           A
And you sit down to eat
         D        A
You add insult to injury
    D        A
You say you believe in me
        Bm         F#m
But you haven’t decided
      D          A
About taking or leaving me
 
[Chorus]
        G
But you take and you take
     D           A
Like silks up my sleeve
     G                       D  A
Tied corner to corner, never ending
G                  F#m
Trick after trick, I make the magic
    E                 D           A
And you unrelentingly ask for the secret
 
[Break]
 
A  D  A
 
[Verse 2]
A            A
Neck full of mockingbirds
    D            A
All calling your name
Bm         F#m
I tried to sing it all back
                    D               A
Like I heard it, it don’t sound the same
    D           A
I’m gnashing my teeth
       D        A
Like a child of Cain
Bm   F#m                             D          A
  If this is a prison I’m willing to buy my own chain
 
[Chorus]
        G
But you take and you take
     D           A
Like silks up my sleeve
     G                       D  A
Tied corner to corner, never ending
G                  F#m
Trick after trick, I make the magic
    E                 D           A
And you unrelentingly ask for the secret
 
[Break]
 
A  D  A
 
[Bridge]
      A                 G                 D
They say the hearts and minds are on your side
      A             G                D
They say the finish line is in your sights
      A                 G                 D
What they don’t say is what's on the other side
      A                 G                 D
They say the hearts and minds are on your side
 
[Outro]
A   G   D
A   G   D
              You put salt in the wound
And a kiss on my cheek
You butter me up
And you sit down to eat

You add insult to injury
You say you believe in me
But you haven't decided
About taking or leaving me

But you take and you take
Like silks up my sleeve
Tied corner to corner, never ending
Trick after trick, I make the magic
And you unrelentingly ask for the secret

Neck full of mockingbirds
All calling your name
I tried to sing it all back
Like I heard it, it don't sound the same
I'm gnashing my teeth
Like a child of Cain
If this is a prison, I'm willing to burn my own chain

But you take and you take
Like silks up my sleeve
Tied corner to corner, never ending
Trick after trick, I make the magic
And you unrelentingly ask for the secret

They say the hearts and minds are on your side
They say the finish line is in your sights
What they don't say is what's on the other side
They say the hearts and minds are on your side
