we’ve all been hurt by love

it’s out of our hands

i’m drawing a line in the sand

another morning just won’t do
G#
i need your love to shine on through

or it won’t be new

chorus :

whatever it takes , my love , i’ll find it

to put the lonely days behind us
Cm
i’m laying it down
Fm A#
whatever it takes my love

verse 2 :

D#
if there’s a chance
G# Fm D#
for two hearts to celebrate
G#
to blow out some candles

you make a wish , i’ll make one too
G#
but close your eyes love when you do

or it won’t be true

whatever it takes , my love , i’ll find it

whatever it takes my love

’cos i’ve been wandering ’round
Em F C
with the same old blues

that have been dragging me down

if you feel the same way too

maybe it just takes two

and if we give thanks
for our love at each new dawn
we’ll find the strength
and the will to carry on

( A# G# )
the sun alone will never do
without your love to shine on through
it just won’t be new

whatever it takes , my love , i’ll find it

i’m laying it down
whatever it takes , my love
