Way Back Chords by Tanya Stephens

_ _ Uh-huh, _ [G] all right.
[Am] Ladies and gentlemen, I want to invite you [F] on a journey.
I sincerely hope you're in the mood to travel right now,
because we're going [Dm] back in time.
[G] Are you ready?
Oh, I must say, [Em] [D] girl, I want to take [C] you way back
to when a girl on a Mike's wood wasn't determined
by the length of [D] her skirt.
I [Am] mean, way back to creativity before MTV, before BET.
I [F] mean, way back before recycling shit
when the props that you got was for your [G] writing and shit.
Let's rewind before the hype when you used to be low key.
To be a singer, you [Bm] had to actually know key.
[C] I mean, way back before people made a job
of seeing who's best at [D] impersonating Bob.
[Am] I mean, way back to when you swiped blood on every line
to get one good song, then cost $69 [F].99.
To be considered cheap, you had to actually say stuff.
And if it wasn't good, the doctors didn't [G] play stuff.
I mean, way, way off in K, way back.
Now [Bm] pray that you [Cm] will come with me.
[C] Let us [D] journey past [Am] the smell of meat.
Even through the wax, [F] the sun's on my eyes.
_ [G] Whoa, take me to another place, another shine.
Better hopes, better rhymes.
Stronger lyrics every [Bm] night.
You could even write [C] three lines.
Come with me.
Let us [D] journey past [Am] the smell of meat.
_ Even through the wax, [F] the sun's on my eyes.
_ [G] Take it to another place, another shine.
Better hopes, better rhymes.
Stronger lyrics every night.
You could even write [C] three lines.
Well, it's ironic that the chronic that I smoke
got me singing shit that's bionic.
Hearing, know that [Am] it's affecting my judgment
is what some people would hope.
But I'm not tripping.
I'm on a journey.
Come along now.
Let's float.
[F] I used to be excited going to the record store.
But these days, I stay pacing [G] the floor.
Somebody please take me back to when the artists were poor.
Because when they made less, they gave [Bm] us so much more.
[C] Let's take it back to a ballroom, cloud microphone.
Smokey Robinson, Nina [D] Simone.
[Am] James Brown was still occupying the throne
when the sun couldn't put our videos alone.
[F] Way back to when a star attitude
was undefined by somebody [G] being rude.
When it was a pleasure definitely not a task
to greet a friend with [G] a smile
and [Bm] find a damn autograph.
I [C] mean, way back.
Still before you used to drive the Maybach.
You dreamt [D] about a mill but [Am] never made that.
When you made some shit that we could play back.
Whoa, I [F] mean way back.
All of that time, further back.
Then you drank that [G] chair line.
I mean way back.
I want to say [Bm] that you [C] will come with me.
And I'm [D] turning by [Am] this melody.
_ If I'm through, do [F] exercise or fight.
_ _ [G] Make me do it on a music, on a track.
Better, better, I'm stronger.
Every day, every night, you could even break [C] me.
Come with me.
And I'm turning [D] by [Am] this melody.
_ If I'm through, do [F] exercise or fight.
_ _ [G] Make me do it on a music, on a track.
Better, better, I'm stronger.
Every day, every night, you could even break [C] me.
And it came to pass in the glorious days of charts
that the music ailed.
[Am] And we danced to it and threw a party.
But in our hearts, we knew the musicians failed.
[F] And then came along brothers Napsa and Ainska.
And though they were [D] definitely wrong,
I [G] think it's worse to be forced to buy a whole bullshit album
just to get that one good song.
Can I get an amen?
[C] Come with me.
And I'm turning [D] by [Am] this melody.
_ If I'm through, do [F] exercise or fight.
_ _ [G] Make me do it on a music, on a track.
Better, better, I'm stronger.
Every day, every [Em] night, you could even break [C] me.
Come with me.
_ And I'm turning [D] by [Am] this melody.
_ If I'm through, do [F] exercise or fight.
_ [G] Take it to another place, another time.
Better, better, I'm stronger.
Every day, every night, you could even break me.
[C] _ Come with me.
_ _ _ [D] _
