A7[x02020]
STANDARD TUNING
NO CAPO
(*= one strum)
Dm
I'm not a rapper, I'm a singer with a flow
I've got a habit for spittin' quicker lyrics
you know
Bb
You'll find me ripping the writings out of the pages
they sit in
C A7
I never want to get bitten cause plagiarism is hidden
Dm
Watch how I sit on the rhythm, prisoner with the vision
Signed to a label but didn't listen to any criticism
Bb
Thought you knew but you didn't, so perk your ears up
and listen
C A7
The studio is a system and you could say that I'm driven
Dm
And now it's onto the next saga, we drink the best lager
I'll never try to win you over like your stepfather
Bb
I'll do my own thing now and get respect after
C A7
And I'm avoiding the 'caine like it was Get Carter
Dm
For four years I never had a place to stay
But it's safe to say that it kept me grounded
like a paperweight
Bb
At 16 years old, yeah, I moved out of my home
C A7
I was Macy Gray, I tried to say goodbye and I choked
Dm
And went from sleeping at a subway station to
Sleeping with a movie star and adding to the
population
Bb
Not my imagination, I don't wanna relax
C A7
Would it hurt your reputation if I put it on wax?
I'll take it back now
Dm Bb
Mmm, come on and take it back, love
C A7* Dm
Come on and take it back for us
Bb
Don't you fade into the back, love
C
No oh oh ohhh
A7 Dm
I take it back with the rhythm and blues
With my rap pack I'll be singing the news
Tryna act like Jack Black when I bring it to school
Bb
I'll make a beat with my feet by just hitting a loop
C A7
Bringing the lyrics to prove that I can fit in these shoes
Dm
I'll give you the truth through the vocal booth
And stars burst out on the scene like an Opal Fruit
Bb
They try to take aim like Beckham when he goes to shoot
C A7
But then again that's what they're supposed to do
Dm
And I'm supposed to be calm
I tattooed the lyrics onto my arm
Whispering "Everything that happens is from now on"
Bb
I'll be ready to start again by the end of the song
C A7
And still they're claiming that I handle it wrong
Dm
But then I've never had an enemy except the NME
But I'll be selling twice as many copies as their
magazines'll ever be
Bb C
With only spectacles ahead of me and festival fees
A7
Are healthier than a dalmatian on Pedigree
Dm
Singing for the masses, rubber dinghy rapids
Bb
I keep this rapping a habit and keep on fashioning magic
C
I'm battling for respect, I don't know if I'll have it
A7
This song's from the heart, covered the planet
Dm
I'll take it back now
Bb
Mmm, come on and take it back, love
C A7* Dm
Come on and take it back for us
Bb
Don't you fade into the back, love
C A7
No oh oh ohhh, and take it back now
Dm
Now I don't ever wanna be perfect
Cause I'm a singer that you never wanna see shirtless
Bb
And I accept the fact that someone's gotta win worst-dressed
C A7
Taking my first steps into the scene, giving me focus
Dm
Putting on a brave face, like Timothy Dalton
considering a name change, thinking it was hopeless
Bb
Rhyming over recordings avoiding tradition
C A7
'Cause every day some lyrics and a melody can be written
Dm
Now absence can make your heart ache but drinking Absinthe
can change your mind-state, vividly, I need to let my liver be
Bb
And I say it again
C A7
Living life on the edge, with a closed hand full of friends
Dm
Is good advice from a man who took his life on the road with me
And I hope to see him blowing up globally
Bb
'Cause that's how it's supposed to be screaming out vocally
C A7
Might seem totally impossible achieving life's dreams
Dm
But, but I just write schemes I'm never having a stylist
giving me tight jeans
Bb
Madison Square Garden is where I might be, But more likely
C A7
You'll find me in the back room of a dive bar with my mates
Dm
Having a pint with McDaid, discussing records we made
And every single second knowing that we'll never betray
Bb
The way we were raised remembering our background
C A7
Sat down That's how we put it out
it's time to take it back now
Dm Bb
Mmm, come on and take it back, love
C A7* Dm
Come on and take it back for us
Bb
Don't you fade into the back, love
C A7
No oh oh ohhh
Dm Bb
Mmm, come on and take it back, love
C A7* Dm
Come on and take it back for us
Bb
Don't you fade into the back, love
C* A7* Dm* Dm*
No oh oh ohhh

About LLG♥
I’m a wife, mother and self-taught guitarist. I first picked up a guitar in 2010 and haven’t put it down since! I’m not that great of a player, but I get by. Besides, my talent isn’t in the playing, it’s in the ears ;)
I first discovered I had an ear for transcribing music while playing tabs on Ultimate Guitar. So many of them were just wrong! I started making correct versions and it just grew from there. I left UG having tabbed over 300 songs on that site. (I was the #1 Daily Contributor for over 2 years straight, now I’m down to #7. Not bad since I haven’t posted a tab on UG in over 3 years!)
In 2013 I created Live Love Guitar and amazingly enough, I’m still here! I think users know they can count on correct, well formatted tabs. I try to make my tabs as easy as possible while still being correct. This makes a huge difference for new players! I would have quit playing had I not learned the beauty of a capo and transposing :) My capo is my best friend!!
Thanks for visiting and I hope I can keep up with all the song requests, keeping Live Love Guitar alive! :)
