Verse 1:
        D                     G                 D     G
Well it seems she'll play the same old piece to play along
           D              G               D       G
'Cause the audience never listened to her mermaid song
         A                             G
That temptation was a sunny isle where all that lives is dead
                 D       G                D      G
Don't choose its shadows     to make your bed

Verse 2:
      D                 G               D     G
And behind that painted lady, there's a masterpiece
      D                 G             D     G
Oh, behind that painted lady, she's a masterpiece
        A                                    G
Oh, but she doesn't care to think so; no she hasn't got belief
                  D       G           D      G
That's what she's wearing    over her face

Chorus:
Singing:
D   G    A  G    D  G
Oh, take me back to me,
D   G   A   G    D  G
oh, the o - riginal me

Oh, take me back to me, the original me

Verse 3:
    D              G                     D               G
And when the sun descends, she'll be the swan song silhouette
    D             G                   D                  G
And even down the road, she'll be the last to leave your head
           A                                   G
And you'll feel like you're marooned upon that sunny isle instead
                 D       G               D       G
Don't choose its shadows    to make your bed

Oh, take me back to you, the original you
D   G   D   G   D   G   A   A   G   G   D   G   D   G   D   G   D
