This is the small riff that's played right before the chorus.
Riff 1:
VERSE 1:
The Texas sun beats down upon me like the Devil's smile.
I'd rather be anywhere else than here.
Was it a blinding lack of subtlety
Or just a lack of style
G Cadd9 G Riff 1
Responding to the ways and means of fear?
CHORUS:
Take me back to New Orleans
And drop me at my door.
'Cause I might love you, yeah,
But I love me more.
VERSE 2:
My fingertips are bitten 'til there's nothing left but skin.
I'd rather be anyone else right now.
The light that shone within my eyes
Is slowly growing dim.
G Cadd9 G Riff 1
She told me where, told me when, but never said how.
CHORUS:
Take me back to New Orleans
And don't call me anymore.
'Cause I might love you, yeah,
But I love me more.
BRIDGE:
(She said) How can I make this unhappen?
(I said) You cannot make this unhappen.
Choose before your choices fade away.
(She said) I could be home by tomorrow
(She said) If I could beg, steal, or borrow.
I said you're there, you might as well stay.
VERSE 3:
The morning mist arises through another crack in the glass.
The lack of sleep has made me numb.
But sometimes when she sleeps
She'll turn and she'll whisper his name.
G Cadd9 G Riff 1
That cake must taste great but I'll pass when you offer me some.
CHORUS:
Take me back to New Orleans

And drop me at my door.
'Cause I might love you, yeah,
G Riff 1
But I love me more.
END CHORUS:
Take me back to New Orleans
us2
And don't call me anymore.
'Cause I might love you, yeah.
I might love you, yeah.
I might love you, yeah,
But I love me more.
I love me more.
F G F G End on G
I love me more.
