G
I came from out of nothing,
and let me tell you somethin'
F                     C
Seen eons come and go,
asteroids and ice age snow, but
G
I kept it all together, I had it made forever
F                       C
Then you all came along,
and things started going wrong now

Chorus:
D             C                 G
Oh yeah, you better take care, better
take care of me now
D        C               G C G
Oh, you better see I'm okay
D             C               G
Oh yeah, you better take care I don't overheat now
D                C                   G C G
Yeah, yeah, you better take care of me

I am the rock you stand on, fall down,
the one you land on
I'll still go on and on,
long after you're all gone, yeah
Hey, can't you hear me talkin'?
This is the ground you're walkin'
You've got some tide to turn,
to keep your feet from burnin'

Chorus

 A#                   F                 C
Ain't no skin off of my nose if you're gonna
         G
be history
                 A#               F
But that's what you'll be if you don't take
         D
care of me, yeah

If there's a terra nova out there for when it's over
That day, when I get too hot, I'll still be all
you've got, yeah
'Cause this ain't a sci-fi movie, ain't gonna be
so easy
Get all your crazy race, off'a my back and into
space now

Chorus

G
Better do somethin', better start now
 C                         D
Don't know what? Then you better find out
     G
And you better pray that it ain't too late
                           G
'Cause right now, I don't feel so great

Chorus:
Oh yeah, you better take care,
better take care of me now
Oh, you better see I'm okay
Oh yeah, you better take care I don't overheat now
Yeah yeah, you better take care of me
Oh, you better just keep me sweet
Yeah yeah, you better take of me
