What It Takes

G D4 Em7 D C


[Verse 1]

G                           
There goes my old girlfriend, 
           D
there's another diamond ring.
         Em                  
And, uh, all those late night 
      D     C
promises I guess they don't mean a 
thing.
   G                           D
So baby what's the story? Did you 
find another man ?
      Em
Is it easy to sleep in the bed that 
we made?
 D         C                      
  When you don't look back I guess
                             D
 the feeling starts to fade away.
  G                             
I used to feel your fire but now 
       Em
it's cold inside.
 D           C
  And you're back on the street like
 you didn't miss a beat, yeah.


[Chorus]

Bb                                 
  Tell me what it takes to let you 
F
go.
Bb                                
  Tell me how's the pain supposed 
   F
to go.
Bb               A                
  Tell me how it is  that you can 
Dm            Dm/C
sleep, in the night
         Dm/B
Without thinking you lost ev'rything
 that was good in your
                             Bb    
life to the toss of the dice?,  
             Db                 F
Tell me what it takes to let you go,
  yeah.

G                           D
Girl before I met you I was F.I.N.E,
 fine
Em                          D     
But your love made me a prisoner, 
C
yeah my heart's been doing time.
   G                           D
You spent me up like money then you 
hung me out to dry.
Em
It was easy to keep all your lies in
 disguise,
D         C                      
'Cause you had me in deep with 
                             D
the devil in your eyes.
