The taker

 

                 A                                                                     E

1. He's a giver, he'll give her the kind of attention that she's never known,

                                                                                       A

  he's a teacher, he'll teach to open the doors that she can't on her own.

                                                                                         D

 He's a lover, he'll love her in ways that she never has been loved before,

           E                                                                                                   A

he's a getter, he'll get her by gettin' her into the world she's been hungerin' for.

 

                   A           

2. He's a charmer, he'll charm her

                                                    E

    with money and manners that I never learned

 

    He's a leader,and he'll lead her

                                                A

    across pretty bridges he's planning to burn

                                                                                       D

    He's a talker, he'll talk her right off her feet, but he won't talk for long,

                            E

    'cause he's a doer,and he'll do her

                                                                                          A

    the way that I never, and damned if he won't do her wrong

                                      

                   D

Yes, he's s taker, he'll take her

                                                                                 E            ~

to places and make her fly higher than she's ever dared to.

                                                                                                      A

He'll take his time before takin' advantage, takin' her easy and slow.

         D

And after he's taken her body and soul,

                                                             E        ~

that she gives him, he'll take her for granted,

                                                                                                  A

then he'll take off and leave her, takin' all of her pride as he goes.
