Whatever It Takes - Imagine Dragons
Capo 1
Am C F
[Verse 1]
Am
Falling too fast to prepare for this
C
Tripping in the world could be dangerous
F
Everybody circling is vulturous
F
Negative, Nepotist
Am
Everybody waiting for the fall of man
C
Everybody praying for the end of times
F
Everybody hoping they could be the one
F
I was born to run, I was born for this
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
Whip, whip
C
Run me like a race horse
F
Hold me like a rip cord
F
Break me down and build me up
Am
I wanna be the slip, slip
C
Word upon your lip, lip
F
Letter that you rip, rip
F
Break me down and build me up
[Chorus]
Am
Whatever it takes
C G F
Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
Am
I do whatever it takes
C G F
Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains
Am C
Whatever it takes
G F
Ya take me to the top, I’m ready for
Am
Whatever it takes
C G F
Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
N.C
I do what it takes
[Verse 2]
Am
Always had a fear of being typical
C
Looking at my body feeling miserable
F
Always hanging on to the visual
F
I wanna be invisible
Am
Looking at my years like a martyrdom
C
Everybody needs to be a part of ‘em
F
Never be enough from the prodigal son
F
I was born to run, I was born for this
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
Whip, whip
C
Run me like a race horse
F
Hold me like a rip cord
F
Break me down and build me up
Am
I wanna be the slip, slip
C
Word upon your lip, lip
F
Letter that you rip, rip
F
Break me down and build me up
[Chorus]
Am
Whatever it takes
C G F
Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
Am
I do whatever it takes
C G F
Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains
Am C
Whatever it takes
G F
Ya take me to the top, I’m ready for
Am
Whatever it takes
C G F
Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
N.C
I do what it takes
[Bridge]
Am C
Hypocritical, egotistical
F
Don’t wanna be the parenthetical
F Am
Hypothetical, working onto something that I’m proud of
C F F
Out of the box an epoxy to the world and the vision we’ve lost
Am C F
I’m an apostrophe, I’m just a symbol to reminds you that there’s more to see
F Am
I’m just a product of the system, a catastrophe
C F
And yet a masterpiece, and yet I’m half diseased
F
And when I am deceased
Am C
At least I go down to the grave and die happily
F F
Leave the body of my soul to be a part of me
N.C
I do what it takes
[Chorus]
Am
Whatever it takes
C G F
Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
Am
I do whatever it takes
C G F
Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains
Am C
Whatever it takes
G F
Ya take me to the top, I’m ready for
Am
Whatever it takes
C G F
Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
N.C
I do what it takes
