Give Me My Name Back (single) - Meg Mac (2018)
Meg played the chorus of this song on piano on an Instagram story,
so I adapted those chords (Em, C, G, D) to the whole song. If you
listen to the background piano chords in the chorus, it'll make it
easier to get the timing right in the chorus :)
[Verse 1]
G D Em
Afraid of the moment
G D Em
Have I forgotten the way to fit in?
G
Drink it all up, they say
D Em
Drink it all up before it's gone
G D Em
But I'ma rest up 'cause I got a long way to go home
G D Em7
But I can't go home without it
G D Em7
But I can't go home without it
[Chorus]
G D Em
Give me my name back
G D Em
Give me my name back
[Verse 2]
G D Em
I guess I'm gonna watch them all fall behind
G D Em
'Cause I know wherever I go, wherever I go
G
They say 'drink it all up', they say

Drink it all up before it's gone
G D Em
