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.
