[Intro]
Em C G Bm

[Verse 1]
Em
  I've been manipulated
   C
 a hundred times, but
G                     Bm
 None of them felt so soft
 and kind, and
Em                    C
  Hell is a place for what
 we tried, but
G              Bm
 Never felt so wrong
in my mind, and
Em
  Never understood why
 C
 Mama cried, and
G
 Could it be because
    Bm
our secret's hiding?
Em                     C
  I always thought someday
you'd find us, but
G
 Waiting for you is
      Bm
like slowly dying

[Pre-Chorus]
Em          C
 'Cause you kept me warm
    G               Bm
You held me close until
            Em
 you let me go
       C
Now my blood is cold
  G             Bm
I never had the time
            C
 to let you know

[Chorus]
        D
Take me back
        Em
Take me back
        Bm   C
Takе me back
        D
Take me back
        Em
Takе me back
        Bm   C
Take me back

[Post-Chorus]
       D               Em
All of me, take all of me
       Bm          C
All of me, all of me
        D
Take me back
        Em
Take me back
        Bm
Take me back

[Verse 2]
Em            C
  Where do we go from here?
G        Bm               Em
 Hold my heart and set me free
            C
Where do we go from here?
G        Bm
 Kiss me with each melody
Em          C
  Someone I used to fear
G              Bm
'Cause I loved your
              Em
forbidden touch
                   C
The thought of you cut so deep
G        Bm         Em
 So I'll open up my scars

I'm waiting for the day
             C
you call my phone

How to play Take Me Back: key, chords and progression

These are Take Me Back chords by The Weeknd on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Take Me Back by The Weeknd is written in C major (no sharps or flats) and moves through 9 chords: Em, C, G, Bm, D, E, F, Gm and Dm.

Most of the song cycles through Em – C – G – Bm (iii – I – V – vii in C major). In solfa, that is mi – doh – soh – te. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: Bm, F and Gm are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
