[Chorus]
Am
Back chat back chat
C
You burn all my energy
Dm
Back chat back chat
Criticizing all you see
Am
Back chat back chat
C
Analysing what I say
Dm
Back chat back chat
And you always get your way
[Verse 2]
Am
Back chat back chat
C
It's driving me insane
Dm
Survival to the end
Knock you down you come again
Am
Talk back talk back
C
You've got me on the wrack
Dm
Twisting ev'ry word I say
Wind me up and get your way
Am C
Fat chance I have of making a romance
Dm
If I'm ever goin' to win
Have to get the last word in
Am C D
Twisting ev'ry word I say Huh!
F G
Wind me up and let me play
[Chorus]
Am
Back chat back chat
C
You burn all my energy
Dm
Back chat back chat
Criticizing all you see
Am
Back chat back chat
C
Analysing what I say
Dm
Back chat back chat
And you always get your way
[Verse 3]
Am
Wake up stand up
C
And drag yourself on out
Dm
Get down get ready
Scream and shout
Am
Back off me be cool
C
And learn to change your ways
Dm
'Cause you're talking in your sleep
And you're walking in a daze
Am
Don't push your luck
C
I'm ready to attack
Dm
'Cause when I'm trying to talk to you
All you do is just talk back
Am C
You stand so tall you don't frighten me at all
Dm
Don't talk back don't talk back
Don't talk back just leave me alone
[Chorus]
Am
Back chat back chat
C
You burn all my energy
Dm
Back chat back chat
Criticizing all you see
Am
Back chat back chat
C
Analysing what I say
Dm
Back chat back chat
And you always get your way
