🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Whatever it takes
  • 'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
  • I do whatever it takes
  • 'Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains

Sing it again — final chorus

  • Whatever it takes
  • Yeah, take me to the top, I'm ready for
  • Whatever it takes
  • 'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
takeswhatevercause
