[Verse]
F C Eb Bb F Eb
We feel the rising sun release the day to us,
Bb
the dreamers.
F C Eb Bb F
We seize it in our hands and burn ourselves,
Eb Bb
We know no better.
[Chorus]
Dm C Gm
Don't take me back if you don't want to.
Dm C Gm
Don't take me back.
Dm C Gm
I said, don't take me back if you don't want to.
I won't come home,
I won't come home.
Dm C Gm
Don't take me back if you don't want to.
[Verse]
F C Eb Bb
We felt the sun beat down the day
F Eb Bb
we gave ourselves to each other.
F C Eb
And your heart broke like the dawn,
Bb F Eb Bb
but I was blind to see the sunlight.
[Chorus]
Dm C Gm
Don't take me back if you don't want to.
Dm C Gm
Don't take me back.
Dm C Gm
I said, don't take me back if you don't want to.
I won't come home,
I won't come home.
Dm C Gm
Don't take me back if you don't want to.
[Bridge]
Dm C F Gm Dm C F Gm
Ooooooooh, woaaaahhh.
Dm C F Gm C
Lover, won't you let me come home,

I never had a home before.
[Verse]
F C Eb
Your eyes broke like the dawn
Bb F Eb Bb
when you opened them for me, that September.
F C Eb
Then you gave yourself to me,
Bb F
it was like I had died,
Eb Bb
it was like the first time.
F Eb Bb
It was nothing like the first time.
[Chorus]x2
Dm C Gm
Don't take me back if you don't want to.
Dm C Gm
Don't take me back.
Dm C Gm
I said, don't take me back if you don't want to.
I won't come home,
I won't come home.
Dm C Gm
Don't take me back if you don't want to.
Dm C Gm
Don't take me back if you don't want to.
[Outro]
F C Eb
Your heart broke like the dawn,
Bb F Eb Bb
but I was blind to see the sunlight.
