VERSE 1:
 GCadd9G
          The Texas sun beats down upon me like the Devil's smile.
 GCadd9G
          I'd rather be anywhere else than here.
 GCadd9
          Was it a blinding lack of subtlety
 G
          Or just a lack of style
G Cadd9 G Riff 1
Responding to the ways and means of fear?
CHORUS:
 Em7G
          Take me back to New Orleans
 Cadd9D
          And drop me at my door.
 AmC
          'Cause I might love you, yeah,
 G
          But I love me more.
VERSE 2:
 GCadd9G
          My fingertips are bitten 'til there's nothing left but skin.
 GCadd9G
          I'd rather be anyone else right now.
 GCadd9
          The light that shone within my eyes
 G
          Is slowly growing dim.
G Cadd9 G Riff 1
She told me where, told me when, but never said how.
CHORUS:
 Em7G
          Take me back to New Orleans
 Cadd9DDsus2D
          And don't call me anymore.         
 AmAsus2AmC
          'Cause I might love you, yeah,
 G
          But I love me more.
BRIDGE:
 Cadd9
          (She said) How can I make this unhappen?
 GEm7
          (I said) You cannot make this unhappen.
 DDsus2DG
          Choose before your choices fade away.
 Cadd9
          (She said) I could be home by tomorrow
 GEm7
          (She said) If I could beg, steal, or borrow.
 AmC
          I said you're there, you might as well stay.
VERSE 3:
 GCadd9G
          The morning mist arises through another crack in the glass.
 GCadd9G
          The lack of sleep has made me numb.
 GCadd9
          But sometimes when she sleeps
 G
          She'll turn and she'll whisper his name.
G Cadd9 G Riff 1
That cake must taste great but I'll pass when you offer me some.
CHORUS:
 Em7G
          Take me back to New Orleans
 Cadd9DDsus2D
          And drop me at my door.     
 AmC
          'Cause I might love you, yeah,
G Riff 1
But I love me more.

          'Cause I might love you, yeah.

          I might love you, yeah.

          I might love you, yeah,
 G
          But I love me more.
