Imagine Dragons
Whatever It Takes (Live in Vegas)
[Spoken Intro]
We're just getting started, Vegas
We got some surprises for you 'night!

[Verse 1]
Falling too fast to prepare for this
Tripping in the world could be dangerous
Everybody circling, it's vulturous
Negative, nepotist
Everybody waiting for the fall of man
Everybody praying for the end of times
Everybody hoping they could be the one
But I was born to run, I was born for this

[Pre-Chorus]
Whip, whip
Run me like a racehorse
Pull me like a ripcord
Break me down and build me up
I wanna be the slip, slip
Word upon your lip, lip
Letter that you rip, rip
Break me down and build me up

[Chorus]
Whatever it takes
Go! (Oh, oh)
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do whatever it takes (Oh, oh)
'Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains
I do whatever it takes
Say it! (Oh, oh)
Take me to the top I'm ready for
Whatever it takes (Oh, oh)
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do what it takes
[Verse 2]
Always had a fear of being typical
Looking at my body feeling miserable
I'm always hanging on to the visual
I wanna be invisible
Looking at my years like a martyrdom
Everybody needs to be a part of 'em
Never be enough, I'm the prodigal son
I was born to run, I was born for this

[Pre-Chorus]
Whip, whip
Run me like a racehorse
Pull me like a ripcord
Break me down and build me up
I wanna be the slip, slip
Word upon your lip, lip
Letter that you rip, rip
Break me down and build me up

[Chorus]
Whatever it takes
Go! (Oh, oh)
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do whatever it takes (Oh, oh)
'Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains
I do whatever it takes (Oh, oh)
Take me to the top, I'm ready for
Whatever it takes (Oh, oh)
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do what it takes
[Bridge]
Hypocritical, egotistical
Don't wanna be the parenthetical, hypothetical
Working hard on something that I'm proud of, out of the box
An epoxy to the world, the vision we've lost
I'm an apostrophe
A symbol to remind you that there's more to see
A product of the system, a catastrophe
Yet a masterpiece, yet I'm half-diseased
And when I am deceased
At least I go down to the grave and die happily
And leave the body and my soul to be a part of thee
I do what it takes

[Spoken Interlude]
Las Vegas!
Let's go!

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Whatever it takes
Go! (Oh, oh)
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do whatever it takes (Oh, oh)
'Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains
Whatever it takes
Say it (Oh, oh)
Yeah, take me to the top, I'm ready for
Whatever it takes (Oh, oh)
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do what it takes
