[Intro] C F C [Verse 1]
C                          G
I want to go back to that night in October

     F                     C
And show up showered and shaven and sober

C                                G
But there ain't no takebacks in life, so you told me

         F                          C
Now I'm hoping this tall glass of bourbon consoles me

   G                   F                     C
I wanna go back, but just can't remember the way
[Chorus]
         F                            C
Take me back to the days that I was faithful

         D D7                          G  G7
Take me back when you were holding my heart

             F                                 C
Now I'm all alone, reliving the memories that once were

         G      F             C
Take me back, Please take me back
[Verse 2]
C                               G
Lost count of the chances that you kept on giving

     F                             C
You saw something in me that was worthy of saving

C                              G
I was hellbent on proving that I was unworthy

         F                    C
So you finally conceded and walked away from me

    G                         F         C
Oh what have I done, let an angel fly away
[Chorus]
         F                            C
Take me back to the days that I was faithful

         D D7                          G  G7
Take me back when you were holding my heart

             F                                 C
Now I'm all alone, reliving the memories that once were

         G     F              C
Take me back, Please take me back
[Bridge]
Am                F                  C
I'm really quite good at picking up habits

Am           F                  C
But equally bad at laying them down

Am       F                 C
Good intentions there to greet me in the morning

Am       F             C                    G
Long forgotten by the time that I lay back down
[Alternate Bridge]
Am                    F               C
Can't unsay all the words that I've spoken

Am             G                         F
or undo the terrible things that I have done

Am                              F                           C
Just look in the rear view and see all the dreams that lay broken

Am                      G                         F                  C
And wonder why I still do those same things that I've always done
[Verse 3]
C                           G
The future is paved by the past if you hold to

       F                    C
Those habits and sins that got a hold on you

C                            G
It's just a decision that's what it comes down to

F                             C
Lean on God's grace and His promise will hold true

      G                         F                 C
Just lay it all down and start living your life anew
[Chorus]
         F                            C
Take me back to the days that I was faithful

         D D7                          G  G7
Take me back when you were holding my heart

             F                                 C
Now I'm all alone, reliving the memories that once were

         G     F              C
Take me back, Please take me back

         G     F              C
Take me back, Please take me back
