Everything Takes Me Back (Trace Adkins)
Intro: D --- C---- G----D (see chord formations at bottom)
DC
It's a song on the radio
GD
It's your picture on the wall of my bed room
DC
It's any one of a million memories
GD
Girl, everything takes me back but you
DC
It's every place that we've ever been
GD
It's runnin' into someone we both knew
DC
Or it's the face of a total stranger
GD
Girl, everything takes me back but you
CDGD
I've called you up, I've begged and pleaded, left love letters at your door
CDGD
Though I broke your heart, you gotta believe it hurt me even more
CDGD
So what's it gonna take, what you wanna hear girl I think I paid my dues
CD
And it might be just, but it don't seem fair
CGDDCGD
That everything takes me back but you....hmm..- --
DC
It's the sound or it's the silence
GD
It's the thought that what I've done I can't undo
DC
Or it's the dream I can't put behind me
GD
Girl everything takes me back but you
CDGD
I've called you up, I've begged and pleaded, left love letters at your door
CDGD
Though I broke your heart, you gotta believe it hurt me even more
CDGD
So what's it gonna take, what you wanna hear girl I think I paid my dues
CD
And it might be just, but it just ain't fair
CGD
That everything takes me back but you
DC
It's the night or it's the morning
GD
It's the thunder rollin' in before it rains
DC
Or it's a long, long, long, long stretch of highway
GD
Girl it's nothin' and it's everything, yeah it's everything
CGD
Yeah everything takes me back but you
CGD
Girl, everything takes me back but you
The tuning is drop D---(lower the bottom E string 1 step to D)- hit it often to get the low bass sound in the song
I don't know the exact chord names so what I'm calling D, C, and G are as follows
D- 000230
C- 020030
G- 500003
It sounds cool when you alternate pick the strings of the chords along with the occasional strum
