Song: Whatever it takes
Album: The Fabled City
G#5 D#5 C#5 G#5 x2
G#5
G#5
Storm clouds won't bother together
Sheet cashed in, cut the tether
She's gone, its no mistake
The angels have come too late
They've come too late
F#5
In my hands I hold the truth
Chorus:
G#5 F#
That something sure that hits you, pure flesh and bone to rip through
D#m C# G#5
Don't let em tie you to the stake, whatever it takes
F# D#m
Flood waters raise the ramparts, I'll meet you now wherever you are
C# G#5
I'm here until the front line breaks, whatever it takes
G#5
Then she turned off the headlights
F#5
Cranked the radio, ran the red lights
Never found the missing bride
Window's dark but they're all inside
Their all inside
F#5
In my hands I hold the truth
Chorus
Solo:
G#5
C# D#m E F#
G#5
A general without an army
F#5
I stopped looking, then they found me
On the hill a horn is blowing
It's over man, you just don't know it
Chorus
G#5 F#
Climb backwards through the red room, a jungle of thieves to get through
D#m C# G#
Time's up, how long you gonna waste, whatever it takes
F# D#m
So Jack, grab paper and pen, I'll say it once, we'll say it again
C# G#5
Loosen the core until it shakes, whatever it takes
G#5
Whatever it takes
