Take Me Down

Intro: G   G 


 
Em                 D       C 
 I saw the news today, the war is at our door, 
G                            C 
It's always been there in my heart, 
    Em 
The battle between grace and pride, 
    C 
Has always raged deep inside, 
     G 
It's hard to be a friend, 
             C 
When all you wanna be is right. 
 

 
G                      C 
Take me down, won't You  take me down? 
          Em         D               C 
Won't You, take this crown off of my head? 
G                    C 
Lift it up, won't You  lift it up? 
         Em       D            C 
Won't You  put it back on You again? 
C 
Back on You again. 
 

 
Em                      C 
 I tried to analyze the answers to this life, 
G                          C 
  What divided You and me? 
Em                            C 
I can't seem to calculate the science of the heart, 
G                        C 
Love can't be proven easily. 
 

 
G                      C 
Take me down, won't You  take me down? 
          Em         D               C 
Won't You, take this crown off of my head? 
G                    C 
Lift it up, won't You  lift it up? 
         Em       D            C 
Won't You  put it back on You again? 
C            G   G  G 
Back on You again. 
 

 
D   Em   C 
Oh, I'v stolen all this time from You, 
D   Em  C 
Oh, I   tried to steal Your thunder too, 
D   Em   C                 G 
Oh, I  reject the gift You freely give, 
D   Em  C             G 
Oh, I   fulfill empty promises, 
     D            Em                 C          G 
I've taken riches that were Yours to justify my holy wars, 
D             Em           C              G 
I have spun a web of lies, all so I could criticize, 
     D                    Em 
I've kicked You out of my heart's throne, 
     C              G 
Then wondered why I was alone, 
   D               Em 
So take me now and break me now, 
  C                N.C.    G 
Embrace me now and take me down. 
 

 
G                      C 
Take me down, won't You  take me down? 
          Em         D               C    C 
Won't You, take this crown off of my head? 
G                    C 
Lift it up, won't You  lift it up? 
         Em       D            C 
Won't You  put it back on You again?
