Lyrics

Take It Away

[Intro]

You and I have been playing this game for so damn long

And I don't know why

These cards are too old, so I'm gonna fold

Bye-bye, bye-bye

Bye-bye

Yeah

[Verse 1]

Party's over and all our friends are gone

Was it something I said?

Did we have too much fun?

Guess you missed it, look around

It's never you who's to blame for bringin' everyone down

[Pre-Chorus]

It's never you who's to blame for setting the stage

You want it your way

Come on, come on, come on

[Chorus]

Why don't you take it away?

Take it away

Come on and take it away, take it away

Take it away, take it away

Why don't you take it away?

Take it away

[Verse 2]

Bad rumors goin' round

Nothin' said from my mouth

Why would you think it's you?

It's hittin' too close to home, now

[Pre-Chorus]

Is it me or you who carries the weight to deal with your pain?

And don't you hate it, too?

It smothers and drains all the same

[Chorus]

Come on, take it away

Take it away

Why don't you take it away?

Take it away

Why don't you take it away?

Take it away

Come on and take it away

Take it away

[Solo]

[Chorus]

Come on, take it away

Take it away

Why don't you take it away?

Take it away

Come on and take it away

[Intro reprise]

You and I have been doin' the time for all of your crimes

And I don't know why

It don't make sense, it seems such a waste of time

Bye-bye, bye-bye

[Chorus] (x2)
