Intro: A  D  A

Verse 1:
         (nc)       A
You put salt in the wound
      D          A
And a kiss on my cheek
    Bm        Gbm
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         Gbm
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                  Gbm
Trick after trick, I make the magic
    E                 D           A
And you unrelentingly ask for the secret

Interlude: A  D  A

Verse 2:
A            A
Neck full of mockingbirds
    D            A
All calling your name
Bm         Gbm
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   Gbm                             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                  Gbm
Trick after trick, I make the magic
    E                 D           A
And you unrelentingly ask for the secret

Interlude: 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
