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
