G             Asus4    A
And now it begins to shine
Am                    Cm      Bm Em
And you've found the eyes to see
 G           C#m7-5 C       F          A  D
Each little drop   the dawn of every day

Your smile it comes back to me
And what ever you may say
 Em           Em   C     F    D7  G  G#  
Don't let it stop never fade away

 C#              Fm7  
As we got to get on in
               D#   D#  G# A#m7  G#   G#    C#  
This world together
                      Fm7  
Then we might as well start to make some
    D#   D#   G#   G#   C
changes

Chorus:
     F             G            C 
If that's what it takes then I got to
      F           C          F
Be strong don't want to be wrong
     G             Am
If that's what it takes
      F       G         C        F
The closer I get into that open door
   C         F        G             Am
I got to be sure if that's what it takes

And now that it's shining through
And you can see all this world
Don't let it stop, never fade away

If we got to be in this life forever
Then we'd better be taking all the chances

Chorus:
If that's what it takes
(That's what it takes)
Then I've got to be strong
(That's what it takes)
Don't want to be wrong
If that's what it takes
The closer I get
(That's what it takes)
Into that open door
(What it takes)
I've got to be sure
If that's what it takes

That's what it takes, that's what it takes
That's what it takes, that's what it takes
What it takes, that's what it takes
That's what it takes, what it takes
That's what it takes
That's what it takes
That's what it takes
