G                          D/F#
What would you take if you only had ten minutes

        Em7                              C
Knowing everything you left behind would surely wash away?

       G                      D/F#
If you only had one suitcase, what would you pack in it?

   Em7                      C
Of all of your possessions, man, what would you save?

                 Am7      G/B             C              G/B
Would it be your money or jewelry or some picture on the wall?

      Am7              G/B         C
If it really came down to it, what matters most of all?
[Chorus]
G                  D                       Em7
 The wind is gonna blow, the rain is gonna come

                        C                                  G
And every soul is gonna go back to the light where it came from

          D               C
Dust into dust, fear into faith

C
There'll be hope for us

                   G
If love is what we take
[Verse 2]
G                          D/F#
What would you take in the middle of the night

       Em7                          C
If you felt the fire raging knowing you were out of time?

             G                         D/F#
I know you'd run to your children, the ones who need your love

          Em7                                    C
Praying, "God just get us out of here, and we'll know we have enough"

     Am7      G/B            C             G/B
Each other, together, that's all we really need

Am7      G       C
Come whatever as long as we believe
[Chorus]
G                  D                       Em7
 The wind is gonna blow, the rain is gonna come

                        C                                  G
And every soul is gonna go back to the light where it came from

          D               C
Dust into dust, fear into faith

C
There'll be hope for us

                   Em D C
If love is what we take

   G/B             Am7
If love is what we take
[Verse 3]
G                  D/F#
Try to remember to ask myself this question

      Em7
Every morning when I wake up

         C
Find the glory in the blessings

   G                              D/F#
My day's a little better, the sun shines a little brighter

       Em7                          C
And my burdens that I carry seem to be a little lighter

    Am7         G             C            G/B
And I know what I'd take if I only had ten minutes

        Am7               G                C                      G
It'd be all the love that we make, and I'd put my whole heart in it
[Chorus]
G                 D                       Em7
The wind is gonna blow, the rain is gonna come

                        C                                  G
And every soul is gonna go back to the light where it came from

          D               C
Dust into dust, fear into faith

C
There'll be hope for us

                 G     D
If love is what we take

                 Em  C
If love is what we take
