However Many Takes it Takes by Vandaveer Tabbed by Ron Stimmel http://www.vandaveer.net/ Eb We're swimming in the deep end Eb/D I find out where your faith begins C Bb You're waiting for an answer that's acceptable Ab The current sweeps you out to sea Bb And it keeps you guessing helplessly Eb Eb/D C Bb You're praying for a savior who's exceptional Ab Someone who'll lift you from your knees Bb And save you, and hand you the keys Eb Eb/D C Bb And offer you the kingdom of your dreams But nothing's ever as it seems You find yourself further down stream Alone, save for the echoes of your screams Ab Bb Eb Ah, honey, fairy tales are prone to tease [Eb chord in background, but bass goes: C D Eb F G Ab G F Eb] Eb Well candles burn you warm and safe Eb/D You lock your door and control your space C Bb And curtains drawn, you think that you're impenetrable 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 Eb Well, step outside into the sun Eb/D Let it dry your eyes and run around C Bb Feel the warmth underneath your skin 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.
