[Intro]
B B E B/D# C#m


[Verse 1]
       B                B
On the days you need to drift
             E            B/D# C#m
I'll be your swimming pool
       B                   B
On the days you need some space
             E         B/D#
I'll be your miles and miles
   C#m
of road


[Chorus 1]
       E
On the nights you need a
F#                 G#m F# E
drink I'll be your ne--on sign
   E   G#m   F#             B
Oh baby   if that's what it takes


[Verse 2]
       B             B
When I need a day in bed
             E            B/D# C#m
You'll be my doctor's note
    B               B
And whenever I find trouble
             E     B/D#  C#m
You'll be my first phone call


[Chorus 2]
         E               F#
And when I I can't get a hit
             G#m F#  E
You'll be my bat-ting cage
   E   G#m   F#             B
Oh baby   if that's what it takes


[Bridge]
F#
Can't we forget about forever
E             E    B/D# C#m B
No one is got that kind of  time
F#
Love is not supposed to be easy
   E   G#m         F#
Oh baby   it don't mean we won't


[Chorus 3]
B  F#/A# G#m
Try
      F#            E  B/D# C#m
Don't mean we won't try
      F#            B  F#/A# G#m
Don't mean we won't try
      F#            E  B/D# C#m C#m
Don't mean we won't try


[Verse 3]
       B                    B
As the years keep slipping away
             E            B/D# C#m
We'll be the birthday cake
          B
While the world turns
              B
itself inside out We'll
       E    B/D# C#m
be the butter----fly


[Chorus 4]
             E
When they're burning
             F#
the carnival down
                  G#m F#  E
We'll stay on the fer-ris wheel
   E   G#m   F#             G#m
Oh baby   if that's what it takes
   E   G#m   F#
Oh baby   if that's what it


[Outro]
B    F#/A# G#m
takes
   F#             E    B/D# C#m
If that's what it takes
   F#             B    F#/A# G#m
Oh that's what it takes
   F#             E    B/D# C#m C#m C#m C#m
Oh that's what it takes
