Take Me Alive

[Verse 1: Chris Cornell]

I tried and tried to walk away

To be the bigger man and leave

You made it hard for me, for me

It's been a long and lonely road

I didn't know which way to go

You made my blood run cold

And filled me up with sorrow

[Pre- Chorus: Chris Cornell]

There's nowhere for me to go

I'm a long way away from home

I won't go without a fight

You'll never take me alive

[Chorus: Justin Timberlake, Chris Cornell]

You'll never take me alive, oh no you won't

Ever take me alive, oh no you won't

Take me alive, oh no you won't

Ever take me alive, oh no you won't

[Verse 2: Chris Cornell]

I tried and tried to shed your skin

But you control me from within

Your love has been a sin

I won't forget tomorrow

[Pre- Chorus: Chris Cornell]

There's nowhere for me to go

I'm a long way away from home

I won't go without a fight

You'll never take me alive

[Chorus: Justin Timberlake, Chris Cornell]

You'll never take me alive, oh no you won't

Ever take me alive, oh no you won't

Take me alive, oh no you won't

Ever take me alive, oh no you won't

[Bridge: Chris Cornell, Justin Timberlake, both]

Build the fire inside the circle

No retreat today

Build the fire inside the circle

No retreat today

Build the fire inside the circle

(Ever take me alive, oh no you won't)

No retreat today

(Take me alive, oh no you won't)

Build the fire inside the circle

(Ever take me alive, oh no you won't)

No retreat today

(Take me alive, oh no you won't)

Build the fire inside

[Outro: 'Long Gone']

Baby, I used to watch your flowers grow

Now it's raining and all your petals turns to stone-tone-tone-tone-tone-tone
