By Ron Pope [INTRO] F Bb F Dm C Bb x2 [VERSE 1]
      F     Bb
It is late,

         F    Dm C
And I am cold.

          F       Bb
Nothing's changed

          F         Dm C
Except for the snow.

          F
I've been waiting on an answer,

Bb                       F     Dm C
Hoping I could call your bluff.

          F
I've been giving second chances

Bb                    F        Dm C Bb
Thinking maybe I gave too much.
[PRE-CHORUS]
         F
What you want from me

         C                              Dm
It's not something I could give you for free.

    C     Bb           F           C
And all I know in this life is you can't stop breathing.
[CHORUS]
   Bb           F
So, whatever it takes,

               C
Tell me you'll stay

     Dm    C    Bb
With me forever.

           F
Don't turn away,

               C
Tell me you'll stay.

       Dm           C          Bb
'Cause when we're together, oh I

    F               C
See stars above the headlights,

               Dm      C    Bb
And they don't seem so far away.

            F
Whatever it takes,

               C
Tell me you'll stay.
Whatever it takes,
            F  Bb  F  Dm C
Whatever it takes.
[VERSE 2]
     F      Bb
I am shamed,

            F    Dm C
And you are lost.

        F    Bb
We both ache

                   F    Dm C
For things we ain't got.

      F
I was praying that you'd find me,

Bb                         F    Dm C
Teach me something I don't know.

      F
I was praying that you'd find me,

Bb                          F    Dm C Bb
Praying that you'd guide me home.
[PRE-CHORUS]
         F
What you want from me

         C                              Dm
It's not something I could give you for free.

    C     Bb           F           C
And all I know in this life is you can't stop breathing.
[CHORUS]
   Bb           F
So, whatever it takes,

               C
Tell me you'll stay

     Dm    C    Bb
With me forever.

           F
Don't turn away,

               C
Tell me you'll stay.

       Dm           C          Bb
'Cause when we're together, oh I

    F               C
See stars above the headlights,

               Dm      C    Bb
And they don't seem so far away.

            F
Whatever it takes,

               C
Tell me you'll stay.
Whatever it takes, (INST.) Whatever it takes. [INSTRUMENTAL] F Bb F Dm C Bb F C [REFRAIN]
    F      Bb
I'm afraid

           F           Dm C
Of things I don't know.

            F    Bb
I miss your face

         F           Dm C
Whenever you're gone.
[CHORUS]
   Bb           F
So, whatever it takes,

               C
Tell me you'll stay

     Dm    C    Bb
With me forever.

           F
Don't turn away,

               C
Tell me you'll stay.

       Dm           C          Bb
'Cause when we're together, oh I

    F               C
See stars above the headlights,

               Dm      C    Bb
And they don't seem so far away.

            F
Whatever it takes,

               C
Tell me you'll stay.
Whatever it takes,
            F  Bb  F  Dm C  x2
Whatever it takes.
