VERSE 1:
The [G]Texas sun beats [Cadd9]down upon me like the [G]Devil's smile.
I'd [G]rather be anywhere [Cadd9]else than [G]here.
Was it a [G]blinding lack of [Cadd9]subtlety
Or just a [G]lack of style
G Cadd9 G Riff 1
Responding to the ways and means of fear?
CHORUS:
[Em7]Take me back to New [G]Orleans
And [Cadd9]drop me at my [D]door.
'Cause [Am]I might love you, [C]yeah,
But I love me [G]more.
VERSE 2:
My [G]fingertips are [Cadd9]bitten 'til there's nothing [G]left but skin.
I'd [G]rather be anyone [Cadd9]else right [G]now.
The [G]light that shone with[Cadd9]in my eyes
Is slowly [G]growing dim.
G Cadd9 G Riff 1
She told me where, told me when, but never said how.
CHORUS:
[Em7]Take me back to New [G]Orleans
And don't [Cadd9]call me anymore[D].[Dsus2][D]
'Cause [Am]I might[Asus2] love [Am]you, [C]yeah,
But I love me [G]more.
BRIDGE:
(She [Cadd9]said) How can I make this unhappen?
(I [G]said) You cannot [Em7]make this unhappen.
[D]Choose b[Dsus2]efore [D]your choices fade aw[G]ay.
(She [Cadd9]said) I could be home by tomorrow
(She [G]said) If I could [Em7]beg, steal, or borrow.
[Am]I said you're there, you might as well[C] stay.
VERSE 3:
The [G]morning mist ar[Cadd9]ises through another [G]crack in the glass.
The [G]lack of sleep has [Cadd9]made me [G]numb.
But [G]sometimes when she [Cadd9]sleeps
She'll turn and she'll [G]whisper his name.
G Cadd9 G Riff 1
That cake must taste great but I'll pass when you offer me some.
CHORUS:
[Em7]Take me back to New O[G]rleans

But I love me more.

[Em7]Take me back to New O[G]rleans
And don't [Cadd9]call me anym[D]ore[Dsus2].[D]

[Am]I might love you, [C]yeah,
But I love me mor[G]e.
[F]I love me m[G]ore.
F G F G End on G
I love me more.
