[Intro]
G D G D C D C D
[Verse]
G D
Minor chords and major arcana
G D
Little leather jacket and a black bandana
C D
Kicking over trashcans and telling jokes in Atlanta
C
When I got the fever, it hit me like a fan
D
On the back of my hand I don't know who I am
G D
But I'm free for nothing good for nothing too
G D
Crazy to dream and still crazy about you
C D
Won't you let me in one more time, babe I want to feel it too
C D
Well nothing is a lie, babe if you know it ain't true
[Chorus]
G D
Take a look at me now
G D
Take a look at me now
[Verse]
G D
Reparations now coming my way
G D
Dues that I've recollected that I never paid
C D
In the stained glass windows babe I feel the presence, oh yeah
C D
But that don't mean I'm done with repentance oh no
G D
Gonna find another way to climb out of this basement
G D
Gonna find out what that smile on your face meant
C D
Like a thief that you borrow baby take a hold of me, take flight
G D
And I want to do your bidding babe I want to steal away in the night
[Chorus]
G D
Take a look at me now
G D
Take a look at me now
[Verse]
G D
Heart's on fire; so is the page
G D
Everybody round here is telling me to act my age, I'm tryin'
C D
Things are only revealed in the light that is given
C D
Oh to be freed from the pardon when all else is forgiven
G D
Rain outside is blowing in the curtains
G D
Nothing is revealed but nothing is for certain
C D
As I recall you was drinking from the sanctuary wine
C D
Well don't worry baby we'll find all of our lost time
[Chorus]
G D
Take a look at me now
G D
Take a look at me now
[Bridge]
C D
As I recall you were standing there, you was holding your rosary beads
C D
Everyone around here seems to think he knows what he needs
C D
Seven ugly reasons kept me away from you then
C D
Nothing is much weaker than the resolve of most men
[Verse]
G D
I remember when we was alone in your room
G D
Staring out your window we knew you'd be going soon
C D
And I was so young babe I hope that you knew that I meant well
C D
And when I looked in your eyes I thought I knew you could tell
G D
Now I'm blown back from the cemetery gates
G D
You whom I loved dearly now I must wait
C D
To be reunited in the sky when it opens
C D
Well my feet are so tired baby but my spirit ain't broken
[Chorus]
G D
Take a look at me now
G D
Take a look at me now
[Outro]
