Halsey - The Tradition

[intro]
D  C  G  F

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

[chorus]
D
So take what you want take what you can
C
Take what you please don't give a damn
G                            F
Ask for forgiveness never permission
D
So take what you want take what you can
C
Take what you please don't give a damn
G                      F             D
It's in the blood and this is tradition
  C G F
Ooh-ooh

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

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

[bridge]
D
You can't take it back
              C   Bb
it's good as gone
D                                 C   Bb
Well flesh amnesia this is your soul
D
And I hope what's left
                      C   Bb
will last all summer long
D
And they said that
                               C   Bb
boys were boys but they were wrong

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