I Don't Know If I've Got What it Takes Anymore
Composer: Henning Ohlenbusch
Album: Another Sleepless Nap by Henning Ohlenbusch

[verse]
C            Cdim7
Eighty pages in
    Dm7              G7
The bookmark hasn’t moved
C            Cdim7
For a couple years
     Dm7               G7 
I no longer get things done
C                    C7          F     Fm
I don’t know if I’ve got what it takes anymore.
  C                 Dm7/G        C
I don’t know if I’ve got what it takes.


[verse]
C                  Cdim7
A cardboard box of tapes
    Dm7              G7
Is staring me in the face
C                  Cdim7
It hasn’t moved for years
Dm7           G7 
Hasn’t made a sound.
C            C7              F        Fm
I don’t do a thing about the things I love
  C                 Dm7/G        C
I don’t know if I’ve got what it takes.


[chorus]
Am      C/G             Gsus4/F            G
I’ll be still while the night moves around me
     Am      C/G              Gsus4/F              G
In a long exposure lit by the lights that surround me
    Fmaj7 Dm/F Em    Fm Em
And if     you found me there
               Fm
What would you say?
     G6  Fdim/B C
What would you  say?


[verse]
C            Cdim7
So I make a list
    Dm7                  G7
But nothing gets crossed off
C                 Cdim7
So I make another list
     Dm7               G7 
But that one just gets lost
C                     C7             F      Fm
Should I make another list or should I give up?
           C                 Dm7/G        C
Because, I don’t know if I’ve got what it takes.


[chorus]
Am      C/G             Gsus4/F            G
I’ll be still while the night moves around me
     Am      C/G              Gsus4/F              G
In a long exposure lit by the lights that surround me
    Fmaj7 Dm/F Em    Fm Em
And if     you found me there
               fm
What would you say?
     G6  Fdim/B C
What would you  say?


[verse]
          C                     Cdim7
It’s like throwing rocks at the sky
          Dm7                   G7
It’s like throwing rocks at the sun
C                       Cdim7
No matter how I want to try, 
  Dm7                      G7 
I can’t seem to get things done.
C                    C7          F     Fm
I don’t know if I’ve got what it takes anymore
  C                 Dm7/G        C
I don’t know if I’ve got what it takes.
