INTRO:
Gm Cm Gm Cm Fm Bb
VERSE 1:
D# G#
We've all been hurt by love
Fm D#
It's out of our hands
But for all it's worth
G# Fm
I'm drawing a line in the sand
Bb G# Bb
Another morning just won't do
G#
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
Fm Bb
Whatever it takes my love
VERSE 2:
D#
If there's a chance
G# Fm D#
For two hearts to celebrate
G#
To blow out some candles
Fm Bb
And tempt the hands of fate
G# Bb
You make a wish, I'll make one too
G#
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
Fm Bb C
Whatever it takes my love
BRIDGE:
(C) Dm
'Cos I've been wandering 'round
Em F C
With the same old blues
Dm
That have been dragging me down
Em F
If you feel the same way too
Gm
Maybe it just takes two
INTERLUDE:
Gm Cm Gm Cm Gm Cm Fm Bb (Same as INTRO. Play as necessary)
VERSE 3:
(Same chords as VERSE 1 and 2)
(D# G# Fm)
And if we give thanks
For our love at each new dawn
We'll find the strength
And the will to carry on
(Bb G#)
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 G#.*
