[Intro] Am  G  Em
        Am  G  Em

 Am
Falling too fast to prepare for this
  G
Tripping in the world could be dangerous
Em
Everybody circling is vulturous
Negative, nepotist
Am
Everybody waiting for the fall of man
G
Everybody praying for the end of times
Em
Everybody hoping they could be the one
I was born to run, I was born for this

  Am
Whip, whip
               G
Run me like a race horse
                Em
Hold me like a rip cord
                   
Break me down and build me up
                 Am
I wanna be the slip, slip
                G
Word upon your lip, lip
                 Em
Letter that you rip, rip
                   
Break me down and build me up

             F    C
Whatever it takes
                    G              Am
Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
                  F    C
I do whatever it takes
                     G
Cause I love how it feels when 
              Am
I break the chains
             F    C
Whatever it takes
    G                       Am
Ya take me to the top, I’m ready for
             F    C
Whatever it takes
                    G
Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins

I do what it takes

Am
Always had a fear of being typical
 G
Looking at my body feeling miserable
Em
Always hanging on to the visual
I wanna be invisible
 Am
Looking at my years like a martyrdom
G
Everybody needs to be a part of ‘em
 Em
Never be enough, I'm the prodigal son
I was born to run, I was born for this

  Am
Whip, whip
               G
Run me like a race horse
                Em
Hold me like a rip cord
                   
Break me down and build me up
                 Am
I wanna be the slip, slip
                G
Word upon your lip, lip
                 Em
Letter that you rip, rip
                   
Break me down and build me up

             F    C
Whatever it takes
                    G              Am
Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
                  F    C
I do whatever it takes
                     G
Cause I love how it feels when 
              Am
I break the chains
             F    C
Whatever it takes
    G                       Am
Ya take me to the top, I’m ready for
             F    C
Whatever it takes
                    G
Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins

I do what it takes

 Am               G
Hypocritical, egotistical
Don’t wanna be the 
 Em
Parenthetical, hypothetical 
Working onto 
 Am
Something that I’m proud of 
G
Out of the box an 
  Em
Epoxy to the world 
And the vision we’ve lost I'm an
  Am                    G
Apostrophe, I’m just a symbol 
To reminds you that there’s 
 Em
More to see I’m just a product 
Of the system, a 
   Am                   G
Catastrophe, and yet a masterpiece
And yet i’m
 Em
Half diseased and when 
I am deceased, at least I 
 Am                           G
Go down to the grave and die happily
           Em
Leave the body of my soul 
To be a part of me
I do what it takes

             F    C
Whatever it takes
                    G              Am
Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
                  F    C
I do whatever it takes
                     G
Cause I love how it feels when 
              Am
I break the chains
             F    C
Whatever it takes
    G                       Am
Ya take me to the top, I’m ready for
             F    C
Whatever it takes
                    G
Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do what it takes
