Am Em F Am Em F [Verse]
                        Am  Em  F
It takes a lot to know a man

                        Am  Em  F
It takes a lot to understand

                 Am  Em  F
The warrior, the sage

                 Am  Em  F
The little boy in rage

                        Am  Em  F 
It takes a lot to know a woman

                              Am  Em  F 
A lot to understand what's humming

                      Am  Em  F 
The honey-bee, that stings

                        Am  Em  F
The little girl with wings
[Chorus]
                  Am       Dm       G       E      Am
It takes a lot to give, to ask for help, to be yourself

    Dm      Esus4              E
to know and love what you live with

                  Am       Dm       G         Em      Am
It takes a lot to be, to touch, to feel, the slow re-veal

   Dm           E
of what another body needs
[Verse]
                        Am  Em  F
It tales a lot to know a man

                        Am  Em  F
A lot to know to understand

                   Am  Em  F
the father and the son

                   Am  Em  F
the hunted and the gone

                          Am  Em  F
It takes a lot to know a woman

                           Am  Em  F
A lot to comprehend what's coming

                     Am  Em  F
The mother and the child

                   Am  Em  F
The muse and the beguiled
[Chorus]
                  Am       Dm       G       E      Am
It takes a lot to give, to ask for help, to be yourself

    Dm      Esus4              E
to know and love what you live with

                  Am       Dm       G        Em     Am
It takes a lot to be, to touch, to feel, the slow reveal

of what another body needs

of what another body needs

[Bridge]
Am           Dm              F   E
What are you so afraid to lose?

Am                 Dm                  F           E
What is it you're thinking that will happen if you do? (so afraid to lose)

What is it you're thinking that will happen if you do? (It takes a lot to know a man...)

Am              Dm           F   E
What is it you carry on your bag? (It takes a lot to know a man...)

Am             Dm                    F     E
What is it you notice when you can't laugh? (Know you can, have to know...)
