"Whatever It Takes"
By Ron Pope
[INTRO:]
(F, A#, F, Dm-C-A#, (A#) [x2])
[VERSE 1:]
It is [F]late,[A#]
And I am [F]cold.[Dm-C]
Nothing's [F]changed[A#]
Except for[F] the snow.[Dm-C]
I've been [F]waiting on an answer,
[A#]Hoping I could call your [F]bluff.[Dm-C]
I've been [F]giving second chances
[A#]Thinking maybe I gave [F]too much.[Dm-C-A#]
[PRE-CHORUS:]
What you [F]want from me
It's not [C]something I could give you for [Dm]free.
C A# F C~
And all I know in this life is you can't stop breathing.
[CHORUS:]
So,[A#] whatever it [F]takes,
Tell me you'll [C]stay
With [Dm]me for[C]ever.[A#]
Don't turn [F]away,
Tell me you'll [C]stay.
'Cause [Dm]when we're to[C]gether, oh [A#]I
See [F]stars above the [C]headlights,
And they don't [Dm]seem so [C]far a[A#]way.
Whatever it [F]takes,
Tell me you'll [C]stay.
Whatever it takes,
F, A#, F, Dm-C
Whatever it takes.
[VERSE 2:]
I am [F]shamed,[A#]
And you are [F]lost.[Dm-C]
We both [F]ache[A#]
For things we ain't[F] got.[Dm-C]
I was [F]praying that you'd find me,
[A#]Teach me something I don't [F]know.[Dm-C]
I was [F]praying that you'd find me,
[A#]Praying that you'd guide me [F]home.[Dm-C-A#]
[PRE-CHORUS:]
What you [F]want from me
It's not [C]something I could give you for [Dm]free.
C A# F C~
And all I know in this life is you can't stop breathing.
[CHORUS:]
So,[A#] whatever it [F]takes,
Tell me you'll [C]stay
With [Dm]me for[C]ever.[A#]
Don't turn [F]away,
Tell me you'll [C]stay.
'Cause [Dm]when we're to[C]gether, oh [A#]I
See [F]stars above the [C]headlights,
And they don't [Dm]seem so [C]far a[A#]way.
Whatever it [F]takes,
Tell me you'll [C]stay.
Whatever it takes,
(INST.)
Whatever it takes.
[INSTRUMENTAL:]
(F, A#, F, Dm-C, A#, F, C~)
[REFRAIN:]
I'm [F]afraid[A#]
Of things I[F] don't know.[Dm-C]
I miss your [F]face[A#]
F Dm-C...
Whenever you're gone.
[CHORUS:]
So,[A#] whatever it [F]takes,
Tell me you'll [C]stay
With [Dm]me for[C]ever.[A#]
Don't turn [F]away,
Tell me you'll [C]stay.
'Cause [Dm]when we're to[C]gether, oh [A#]I
See [F]stars above the [C]headlights,
And they don't [Dm]seem so [C]far a[A#]way.
Whatever it [F]takes,
Tell me you'll [C]stay.
Whatever it takes,
F, A#, F, Dm-C [x2]
Whatever it takes.
End on F
