Intro

[Am] [G]
[Em]
[Am] [G]
[Em]

Verse 1

[Am]Falling too fast to prepare for this
[G]Tripping in the world could be dangerous
[Em]Everybody circling is vulturous
Negative, Nepotist
[Am]Everybody waiting for the fall of man
[G]Everybody praying for the end of times
[Em]Everybody hoping they could be the one
N.C.
I was born to run, I was born for this

Pre-Chorus

[Am]Whip, whip
Run me like a [G]racehorse
Pull me like a [D]ripcord
Break me down and [Em]build me up
I wanna be the [Am]slip, slip
Word upon your [G]lip, lip
Letter that you [D]rip, rip
Break me down and [Em]build me up

Chorus

Whatever it [F]takes[C]
Cause I love the [G]adrenaline in my [Am]veins
I do whatever it [F]takes[C]
Cause I love how it [G]feels when I break the [Am]chains
Whatever it [F]takes[C]
Ya [G]take me to the top, I’m [Am]ready for
Whatever it [F]takes[C]
Cause I love the [G]adrenaline in my
N.C.
Veins. I do what it takes

Verse 2

[Am]Always had a fear of being typical
[G]Looking at my body, feeling miserable
[Em]Always hanging on to the visual
I wanna be invisible
[Am]Looking at my years like a martyrdom
[G]Everybody needs to be a part of ‘em
[Em]Never be enough, I'm the prodigal son
I was born to run, I was born for this

Pre-Chorus

Chorus

Bridge

[Am]Hypocritical, [G]egotistical. Don’t wanna be the
[Em]Parenthetical, hypothetical, working onto
[Am]something that I’m proud of [G]out of the box
An [Em]epoxy to the world and the vision we’ve lost
I'm an [Am]apostrophe, I’m just a [G]symbol to remind you that there’s
[Em]More to see. I’m just a product of the system, a
[Am]Catastrophe, and yet a [G]masterpiece, and yet I’m
[Em]Half diseased and when I am deceased, at least I
[Am]Go down to the grave and die [G]happily
Leave the [Em]body of my soul to be a part of thee
N.C.
I do what it takes
