Intro:  E5  A5   E5   A5   E5   A5   B5   B5 

Verse: E5  A5 repeated    
Now she's thinking of the red soil and the mango trees 

In her mind she's still splashing round out on cable beach 

And her eyes are as rich and as far away as the sunset there 

She's not taking in a word I say 
       B5        A5   E5      A5  B5   B5 
Well I might as well be talking to myself 

Chorus: 
        E5    B5 
Take it in, 
  A5   B5 
take it all in 
E5             A5                      B5             B5 
Now is a time that will not come again 
        E5  B5 
Take it in, 
  A5   B5 
take it all in 
E5         A5            B5              B5 
This is a day that is here for the living 
Verse: E5  A5  repeated    
So we step outside into this Melbourne weather 

With a shock it brings her back to where she is 

Now we've made this place our home 

Surrounded by unknown 

Stick it out until it comes together 

Chorus: 

Take it in, take it all in 

Now is a time that will not come again 

Take it in, take it all in 

This is a day that is here for the living 
C#5      B5         C#5  C#5  C#5 
We're just living for a day to come or days gone by 
      E5                            A5 
Never taking in each moment 
 C#5      A5     B5   B5 
Never knowing what you had until it passed you by 
Chorus: 
Take it in, take it all in 
Now is a time that is here for the living

  NOTE  
  Vicki plays Take It In live with a capo on the second fret instead of open. So  
  instead of the chords being E5 , A5 and B5 , they should be D , G , and A. The bridge  
  should be B5 , A5 instead of C#5 , B. It sounds much better with the capo. Melissa
