Take back the toys that you've given me

I never knew what to do with them anyway

Verse :

D         A/C#        Bm
I've been down on the beaten track
                 A           G
Just holding on, holding up, holding back
      G            F#          Bm
Given not what I've got but of what I lack
        G                      F#          Bm
I guess that's what we've been taught all along
                  D             A/C#         Bm
It's the time for poison in the locks that I got for free
                          A               G
And I've been pumping the pills placed in front of me
         G          F#       Bm
But I've had enough baby I'm breaking free
        G                F#          Bm
I never knew why it would take me so long
A                           G
Take back the toys they are destroying me
            F#
Hear what I say? I say

I sink the pebbles and boulders and blocks

Verse 2:

             D        A/C#      Bm
You see they give you toys just to distract
                              A           G
And then they break your mind so they can break your back
        G          F#             Bm
Got you in so much that you can't pay it back
               G               F#               Bm
And that's the way that it has been for far too long

Take back the toys they are destroying me
            F#
Hear what I say? I say
