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

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

Chorus:
D  G  A G  D G
Oh, take me back to you,

oh, the o - riginal you
A          G         D   G
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
Doo's and Oh's
