Take It Outside Chords by Barenaked Ladies

Take It Outside chords by Barenaked Ladies

Guitar chords with lyrics

This has always been one of my favorite BNL songs. It's much different than
anything else they've put out, in my opinion.

Unlike any other BNL song, this one is in Eb tuning (tuned down a half step to D#
G# C# F# A# D#). You MUST use this tuning, otherwise the song will sound nothing like it should.

No capo

Chords used in this song are played as follows:
Asus2:    x02200
E:        022100
Asus2/F#: 202200
Bsus4/Ab: 404400
Bsus4:    x24400
C#m7:     x46600

[Verse 1]
Asus2 E     Asus2           E
Oh,   I - I watch it all go down
Asus2  E         Asus2          E
Closed eyes - pretend no one's around
Asus2/F# Bsus4/Ab Asus2              Bsus4
So       I - I    chose to play the clown
Asus2/F# Bsus4/Ab Asus2         Bsus4
Or blow  by and   never make a sound

[Chorus]
E         Bsus4 C#m7                   Asus2
Any other guy      would wanna take it outside
        E           Bsus4 C#m7                      Asus2 (3 strums, then PM)
But I'd never even try        who wants to get their lights knocked out?
E          Bsus4 C#m7                     Asus2
Any other guy         would wanna stir it up some,
        Asus2/F# Bsus4/Ab  Bsus4
But I'd rather say     goodbye

[Verse 2]
Turn 'round - say it to my face
No sound - Everything's a race
Lose ground - lost in your embrace
Leave town - never leave a trace

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
C#m7    Asus2     E         Bsus4
Hardly know what anything's for
C#m7      Asus2      E          Bsus4
Just for show, I'm slamming the door
C#m7 Asus2  E            Bsus4       Asus2
Even so, my heart and my head are an open book

[Instrumental]
Asus2 , E [x4]
or
Play the intro riff [x4]

[Chorus x2]

Asus2/F# Bsus4/Ab  Bsus4
I'd rather say     goodbye

(End on E)
