Intro: C 4x Riff 

Am        Em                         F                     C 
You had us almost believing we were good enough for no one, no how 
Am              Em                      F                     G 
You had us take it or leave it, it's the best deal you're gonna get right now son 
Am        Em                         F                     C 
a little dig here, a little word did you really think that you could control us? 
Am              Em                      F                     G 
Maybe we didn't make it clear, you can have your opinions but you don't own us 

D          G              C               F                D 
If I ever see your face again, it will be far too soon to say  
              G 
The things I want to say to you. 

     C 
You took us for this 
     Em 
you took us for that 
     F 
You took us for granted  
     G 
you can't get away with that 

2x Riff 

If there comes a time when you have to decide  
whether to trust in someone new 
they have to have faith, they have to be true, they have to believe in what you do 

If I ever see your face again it will be far too soon to say  
The things I want to say to you 

You took us for this 
you took us for that 
You took us for granted 
you can't get away with that 

F            Em                Am 
Maybe you're thinking i'm an angry man 
F                              Em                   G 
But you were building us up so we would knock each other down, And you won't get away with it 

No way 

Solo: (C Em F G) 

If I ever see your face again it will be far too soon to say  
The things I want to say to you. 

You took us for this 
you took us for that 
You took us for granted 
you can't get away with that 

2x Riff
