Whatever It Takes

I play this song in a different key, solely because of my vocal range being

higher than Ron Pope's. These chords work for playing the song in the keys

of G - C (placing a capo on frets 1 through 5 will give the song in keys G#

through C - a capo much higher than that will make it difficult to play).

The song is originally in F, so if you wanted to, you could tune the strings

down two semitones and play these chords so it will be in the original key.

Verse 1:

It is late and I am cold

Nothing's changed except for the snow

I've been waiting on an answer,

Hoping I could call your bluff

I've been giving second chances

Thinking maybe I gave too much

Bridge:

What you want from me

It's not something I could give you for free

And all I know in this life is you can't stop breathing

Chorus:

Whatever it takes

Just tell me you'll stay with me forever

Don't turn away

Just tell me you'll stay

'Cause when we're together I see stars above the headlights

And they don't seem so far away

Whatever it takes

Just tell me you'll stay

Whatever it takes

Whatever it takes

Verse 2:

I am shamed and you are lost

We both ache for things we ain't got

I was praying that you'd find me

Teach me something I don't know

I was praying that you'd find me

Praying that you'd guide me home

Bridge:

What you want from me

It's not something I could give you for free

And all I know in this life is you can't stop breathing

Chorus:

Whatever it takes

Just tell me you'll stay with me forever

Don't turn away

Just tell me you'll stay

'Cause when we're together I see stars above the headlights

And they don't seem so far away

Whatever it takes

Just tell me you'll stay

Whatever it takes

Whatever it takes

Verse 3:

I'm afraid of things I don't know

And I miss your face whenever you're gone

Chorus:

Whatever it takes

Just tell me you'll stay with me forever

Don't turn away

Just tell me you'll stay

'Cause when we're together I see stars above the headlights

And they don't seem so far away

Whatever it takes

Just tell me you'll stay

Whatever it takes

Whatever it takes

Whatever it takes
