However Many Takes It Takes Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 We're sD♯wimming in the deep end

 I fD♯indD out where your faith begins

 You're Cwaiting for an answer that's A♯acceptable

 The G♯current sweeps you out to sea

 And it kA♯eeps you guessing helplessly

 You're pD♯raying for a sD♯aviDor who's Cexceptional A♯

 SomeG♯one who'll lift you from your knees

 And sA♯ave you, and hand you the keys

 And oD♯ffer you the kD♯ingDdom of your dCreams A♯

But nothing's ever as it seems

You find yourself further down stream

Alone, save for the echoes of your screams

 Ah, hG♯oney, fairy tA♯ales are prone to tD♯ease

 [D♯ chord in background, but bass goes: C D D♯ F G G♯ G F D♯]

 Well D♯candles burn you warm and safe

 You lD♯ockD your door and control your space

 And cCurtains drawn, you think that you're impA♯enetrable

But demons they don't live outside

They burrow deep where they can hide

Inside a safe, you will still feel vulnerable

You draw a bath and pour some wine

You drink yourself into another time

Where you feel truly free

The water's rising overhead

And you wake to find yourself in bed

You're gasping, for a breath that's hard to breathe

Ahh, honey, dreams are rarely what they seem

Oh, how, e-ver, many takes, it takes

 Well, D♯step outside into the sun

D♯LetD it dry your eyes and run around

 Feel the wCarmth underneath your skA♯in

The clouds will soon move in again

You can't expect to always win

You got to, take it as it comes

The marching bands and beating drums

Play familiar songs for the alum

We all got scars, but we don't like to show them

Sometimes it's better to be strong

We all got to be moving on

You got to walk a million miles

Ahh, honey, go walk them with a smile.

Oh, how, ever, many takes, it takes.
