VERSE 1:
    G               Cadd9                 G
The Texas sun beats down upon me like the Devil's smile.
    G                  Cadd9     G
I'd rather be anywhere else than here.
         G                Cadd9
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:
Em7                 G
Take me back to New Orleans
    Cadd9         D
And drop me at my door.
       Am                C
'Cause I might love you, yeah,
              G
But I love me more.

VERSE 2:
   G              Cadd9                       G
My fingertips are bitten 'til there's nothing left but skin.
    G                Cadd9      G
I'd rather be anyone else right now.
    G                    Cadd9
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:
Em7                 G
Take me back to New Orleans
          Cadd9          D  Dsus2 D
And don't call me anymore.
       Am     Asus2 Am   C
'Cause I might love you, yeah,
              G
But I love me more.

BRIDGE:
     Cadd9
(She said) How can I make this unhappen?
   G                Em7
(I said) You cannot make this unhappen.
D       Dsus2 D                   G
Choose before your choices fade away.
     Cadd9
(She said) I could be home by tomorrow
     G                Em7
(She said) If I could beg, steal, or borrow.
Am                                    C
I said you're there, you might as well stay.

VERSE 3:
    G              Cadd9                G
The morning mist arises through another crack in the glass.
    G                 Cadd9   G
The lack of sleep has made me numb.
    G                  Cadd9
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:
Em7                  G
Take me back to New Orleans
    Cadd9         D  Dsus2 D
And drop me at my door.
       Am                C
'Cause I might love you, yeah,
              G    Riff 1
But I love me more.

END CHORUS:
Em7                  G
Take me back to New Orleans
          Cadd9       D  Dsus2 D
And don't call me anymore.
       Am                C
'Cause I might love you, yeah.
Am                Cadd9
I might love you, yeah.
Am                C
I might love you, yeah,
                 G
But I love me more.
F          G
I love me more.
F          G   F   G  End on G
I love me more.
