#Intro: Dm, C, G, F

[Verse 1]
Dm                C
Oh, the loneliest girl in town
   G                      F
Is bought for pennies a price
   Dm              C
We dress her up in lovely gowns
      G            F
She's easy on the eyes
    Dm                C
Her soul is black and it's a fact
          G                  F
That her sneer will eat you alive
        Dm           C
And the buyer always brings her back
         G               F
Because all she does is cry


[Chorus]
    Dm                  Dm
So take what you want, take what you can
C                      C    
Take what you please, don't give a damn
G                    F
Ask for forgiveness, never permission
Dm                  Dm    
Take what you want, take what you can
C                     C
Take what you please, don't givе a damn
G                      F
It's in the blood and this is tradition
Dm   C    G    F
Mmh, Mmh, Mmh, Mmh


[Verse 2]
Dm                C
Oh, the loneliеst girl in town
    G                   F
Was bought for plenty a price
     Dm              C
They dress her up in golden crowns
    G             F
His smile hides a lie
    Dm               C
She smiles back, but it's a fact
         G                  F
That her fear will eat her alive
    Dm                 C
She got the life that she wanted
    G                    F                  
But now all she does is cry


[Chorus]
Dm                  Dm
Take what you want, take what you can
C                      C    
Take what you please, don't give a damn
G                    F
Ask for forgiveness, never permission
Dm                  Dm    
Take what you want, take what you can
C                     C
Take what you please, don't givе a damn
G                      F
It's in the blood and this is tradition


[Bridge]
Dm                F                  C  Bb
You can't take it back, it's good as go-one
      Dm          F                C  Bb
Well, flesh amnesiac, this is your so-ong
      Dm                    F               C  Bb
And I hope what's left will last all summer lo-ong
         Dm                  F                   C   Bb
And they said that boys were boys, but they were wro-ong


[Chorus]
Dm                  Dm
Take what you want, take what you can
C                      C    
Take what you please, don't give a damn
G                    F
Ask for forgiveness, never permission
Dm                  Dm    
Take what you want, take what you can
C                     C
Take what you please, don't givе a damn
G                      F
It's in the blood and this is tradition
Dm                  Dm
Take what you want, take what you can
C                      C    
Take what you please, don't give a damn
G                    F
Ask for forgiveness, never permission
Dm                  Dm    
Take what you want, take what you can
C                     C
Take what you please, don't givе a damn
G                      F               Dm
It's in the blood and this is tradition
