Islands - Back Into It
Standard Tuning & No Capo
[Verse 1]
Bb
Those songs we used to sing
Gm Cm
We haven't sung them in so long
Bb Gm
I'll sing one with you now
C F
But first tell me how much I get for biting my tongue
C F
I kept my mouth shut but still I got stung, so
[Chorus]
Bb Gm
All gone
Cm F
How do you do it?
Bb Gm
You put your back into it
Cm F
For so long
[Verse 2]
Gm Cm D
Making it up just to make it now
D
Yeah, I got it down
Gm Cm F
Propped it up, but right away it fell
F
It ain't too hard to tell that
[Chorus]
Bb Gm
It's all gone
Cm F
How do you do it?
Bb Gm
You put your back into it
Cm F
For so long
Bb Gm
You're all wrong
Cm F
And that's when I knew it
Bb Gm
You put your back into it
Cm F
And it was all gone
[Verse 3]
Bb
You, sense destroyer
Eb Cm
A spiritualist
Bb
Me, a sense enjoyer
Bb Cm
Materialist
C
But you're never going to tell me what I can say
F
You're never going to take my wings away
[Chorus]
Bb Gm
Now it's all gone
Cm F
How do you do it?
Bb Gm
You put your back into it
Cm F
For so long
[Verse 4]
Gm Cm D
I played along with the lunacy
D
I played along
Gm Cm F
I played along like it was new to me
F
Just to get along
[Chorus]
Bb Gm
But now it's all gone
Cm F
How do you do it?
Bb Gm
You put your back into it
Cm F
For so long
Bb Gm
You're all wrong
Cm F
And that's when I knew it
Bb Gm
You put your back into it
Cm F
And it was all gone
[Outro]
Bb
Those songs we used to sing
Gm Cm
We haven't sung them in so long
Bb Gm
I'll sing one for you now:
Cm
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Dm Eb F
La-la-la-la-la...
