Intro:
GmCmGmCmFmBbVerse 1:
EbAb
We've all been hurt by love
FmEb
It's out of our hands
But for all it's worth
AbFm
I'm drawing a line in the sand
BbAbBb
Another morning just won't do
Ab
I need your love to shine on through
Or it won't be new
Chorus:
Gm
Whatever it takes, my love, I'll find it
Cm
Whatever it takes my love
Gm
To put the lonely days behind us
Cm
I'm laying it down
FmBb
Whatever it takes my love
Verse 2:
Eb
If there's a chance
AbFmEb
For two hearts to celebrate
Ab
To blow out some candles
FmBb
And tempt the hands of fate
AbBb
You make a wish, I'll make one too
Ab
But close your eyes love when you do
Or it won't be true
Chorus:
Gm
Whatever it takes, my love, I'll find it
Cm
Whatever it takes my love
Gm
To put the lonely days behind us
Cm
I'm laying it down
FmBbC
Whatever it takes my love
Bridge:
(C)Dm
'Cos I've been wandering 'round
EmFC
With the same old blues
Dm
That have been dragging me down
EmF
If you feel the same way too
Gm
Maybe it just takes two
Interlude:
GmCmGmCmGmCmFmBb (Same as Intro. Play as necessary)
Verse 3:
(Same chords as Verse 1 and 2)
(EbAbFm)
And if we give thanks
For our love at each new dawn
We'll find the strength
And the will to carry on
(BbAb)
The sun alone will never do
Without your love to shine on through
It just won't be new
Whatever it takes, my love, I'll find it
Whatever it takes, my love
To put the lonely days behind us
I'm laying it down
Whatever it takes, my love
*Same chords as the Chorus but the song ends in C, rather than Ab.*
