Take [C#] back the toys [B] that you gave me
I never knew [A] what to do [G] with them anyway
I never knew how to [B] break up the bars
[G] I said the [F#] devil's [Bm] rule isn't lie
So [C#m] take back the toys [B] that you threw my way
I never [A] knew what to [G] do with them anyway
I never [F#m] knew how to [B] break up the bars
[G] I guess I'll [F#] ban all my sons [B] on the rocks
[C#m] I've been down [B] on beat and slack
So [A] hold it on, [G] hold it out, hold the mat
Thinking [F#] not of what I got [B] but of what I lack
[G] I guess [F#] that's what we've been taught [B] all along
[D] The [C#] fortune and the lunch [B] that I got for free
And I've been popping [A] the pills [G] placed in front of me
But I had [F#] enough, baby, [B] I'm breaking free
I [G] never knew [F#] how it would take me [B] so long
[A] Take back the toys, [G] throw out this R.M.D.A
Well, [F#] I'll say, I'll [D] say
Take [C#m] back the toys [B] that you gave me
I never knew [A] what to do [G] with them anyway
I never knew [F#] how to break [B] up the bars
[G] I said the [F#] devil's rule [Bm] isn't lie Yeah
[C#] [Bm] [B]
[Am] [G]
[F#m] [Bm]
[G] [F#] [Bm]
[A] Open my eyes to what I despise
And in 14 seconds I'm all dead now
[C#] [Bm] [B]
[A] [G]
[F#] [B]
[E] Take back [C#m] the [B] toys, just do this right
And then they break [A] your mind so they [G] can break your back
You've taken so [B] much that you can't pay it back
And that's [F#] only right if [B] they pop you long
[A] Take back the toys, [G] throw out this R.M.D.A
[F#] Well, I'll say,
[D] [C#] I'll say
I [B] never knew [A] what to do [G] with them anyway
I never knew [F#] how to break [B] up the bars
I [G] said the [F#] devil's rule [B] isn't lie
So [C#] take back the toys [B] that you threw my way
I never [A] knew what to [G] do with them anyway
I never [F#] knew how to [B] break up the bars
I [G] guess we'll call on the sun [B] to go to right
[G] [Am]
