(intro/chorus)

 Am                   D   Am

                D
In this golden age that we're livin'
      Am                  D   Am
I'll show you a thousand ways
                      D                   Am  D
I'll show you how we take what we're given
   Am   D

(verse I)
        D
You can say what you want
         C                   Am
We don't need your permission
              D
'Cause you're so busy talkin'
         C                Am
That you don't even listen
        D
You can do what you want
              C            Am
You know that we don't mind
D
You got the years
    C           G/B E7
But we got the time

These are the golden days
                D
In this golden age that we're livin'
     Am                  D   Am
I'll show you a thousand ways
                     D                     C
I'll show you how we take what we're given (Take what we're given)

We don't need your permission
             D
With all the things that you hide
       C                 Am
How do we look suspicious
        D
Better look straight ahead
           C               Am
Don't look over your shoulder
               D
Because you'll wake up to find
     C           G/B E7
That we've taken over

I'll show you a thousand ways
                     D                     C
I'll show you how we take what we're given (Take what we're given)
