Everything Takes Me Back
Everything Takes Me Back (Trace Adkins)
Intro: D --- C---- G----D (see chord formations at bottom)
D C
It's a song on the radio
G D
It's your picture on the wall of my bed room
D C
It's any one of a million memories
G D
Girl, everything takes me back but you
D C
It's every place that we've ever been
G D
It's runnin' into someone we both knew
D C
Or it's the face of a total stranger
G D
Girl, everything takes me back but you
C D G D
I've called you up, I've begged and pleaded, left love letters at your door
C D G D
Though I broke your heart, you gotta believe it hurt me even more
C D G D
So what's it gonna take, what you wanna hear girl I think I paid my dues
C D
And it might be just, but it don't seem fair
C G D D C G D
That everything takes me back but you....hmm..- --
D C
It's the sound or it's the silence
G D
It's the thought that what I've done I can't undo
D C
Or it's the dream I can't put behind me
G D
Girl everything takes me back but you
C D G D
I've called you up, I've begged and pleaded, left love letters at your door
C D G D
Though I broke your heart, you gotta believe it hurt me even more
C D G D
So what's it gonna take, what you wanna hear girl I think I paid my dues
C D
And it might be just, but it just ain't fair
C G D
That everything takes me back but you
D C
It's the night or it's the morning
G D
It's the thunder rollin' in before it rains
D C
Or it's a long, long, long, long stretch of highway
G D
Girl it's nothin' and it's everything, yeah it's everything
C G D
Yeah everything takes me back but you
C G D
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
