[Verse 1]
  E
I sent my résumé to God
   E
In MA  and 12 point font
    E                            
My awards are all in order and my 
                            E
references are pretty strong
   C#m                             
My bullet points concise and now my
 B
 grammar's fixed and typos found
    A                            
I'm hopin' if she sees it I have 
F#m                           E
made my English teacher proud

         E
And I've done my share of charity
    E
But left out the profanities
  E                            
I know that he's a busy guy and 
                             E
maybe  won't remember these
    C#m                     B
The omnipotent editor knows all the 
tricks by now I'm sure
    A                              
But first impressions stick, so I 
  F#m                             E
am leading with my best foot first

   E
So now I wait for the response
  E
A call from my potential boss
    E
Did I apply 'cause I am lost?
   N.C.
Is it too late to call it off?


[Chorus]
  C#m                  B          
I didn't know I had an answer for 
     A
this question 'till I asked
             C#m         B        
But now that I am set in motion 
    A               F#m
all I want's a second chance
Continúa después del anuncio
             E
Take it back


[Verse 2]
    E
I'm flinching as I check the mail
    E
And flip through bills and grocery 
sales
  E                         
I throw out all the clutter, 
understand that it can’t help me now
  E

    C#m
But there it is, I’ve finally heard
       B
‘Cause in my hands: the holy word
    A                        
The envelope is gold and it’s 
    F#m                            
addressed to: "whom it may concern”
  E


    E
And I’m too scared
   E
To look inside
     E
With shaking hands
    E
And fading eyes
    C#m                          
But nothing now can change at all 
     B
the contents of this envelope
     A                         
It's best I get this over with, 
        F#m                    E
'cause ignorance won't save my soul

      E
And I read the words one at a time
    E
But can't get past the leading line
   E
My eyes refocus, open wide...
      N.C.
“Your application's been denied”


[Chorus]
C#m                  B           
Didn't know I had an answer for 
    A
this question 'till I asked
             C#m         B        
But now that I may never have it 
     A               F#m
all I want's a second chance
             C#m  A  E  B
Take it back


[Bridge]
C#m                              A
    “Your application's been denied
                             E
We can’t accept you at this time
                              B
We’ll keep your paperwork on file
We’ll reach back out when it’s your 
 C#m
time"

                                 A
"We know that life can seem so cruel
                               E
That’s why today is just too soon
                                N.C.
You still have so much left to do
                                C#m
The world’s not ready to lose you"

                            A
"So many lives to still impact
Some still have yet to cross your 
  E
path
                            B
We know that it’s a lot to ask
Please learn your worth, and take it
   C#m
 back
         E
Take it back"


[Otro]
            E
I take it back...
