Everything Takes Me Back (Trace Adkins) 
 
Intro: D ---  C---- G----D (see chord formations at bottom) 
 
D It's a song on the C radio 
 
It's your G  picture on the wall of my bed {D}room 
 
It's any D one of a million C memories 
 
Girl, G everything takes me back but D you 
 
It's every D place that we've C ever been 
 
It's G runnin' into someone we both D knew 
 
Or it's the D face of a total C stranger 
 
Girl, G  everything takes me back but D you 
 
I've C called you up, I've D begged and pleaded, left G love letters at your D door 
 
Though I C broke your heart, you D gotta believe it G hurt me even D more 
 
So C what's it gonna take, D what you wanna hear girl I G think I paid my D dues 
 
And it C might be just, but it D don't seem fair 
 
That C everything G takes me back but D you....hmm..{D}- C -{G}- D 
 
D It's the sound or it's the C silence 
 
It's the G thought that what I've done I can't un{D}do 
 
Or it's the D dream I can't put C behind me 
 
Girl G everything takes me back but D you 
 
I've C called you up, I've D begged and pleaded, left G love letters at your D door 
 
Though I C broke your heart, you D gotta believe it G hurt me even D more 
 
So C what's it gonna take, D what you wanna hear girl I G think I paid my D dues 
 
And it C might be just, but it D  just ain't fair 
 
That C everything G takes me back but D you 
 
It's the D night or it's the C  morning 
 
It's the G thunder rollin' in before it D rains 
 
Or it's a D long, long, long, long stretch of C highway 
 
Girl it's G nothin' and it's everything, D yeah it's everything 
 
Yeah C everything G takes me back but D you 
 
Girl, C everything G takes me back but D you 
 
 
The tuning is drop D---(lower the bottom E string 1 step to D)- hit it often to get the low bass sound in the song 
I don't know the exact chord names so what I'm calling D, C, and G are as follows 
 
D- 000230 
C- 020030 
G- 500003 
 
It sounds cool when you alternate pick the strings of the chords along with the occasional strum
