G 
When you're caught up in the wave of a terrible time 

Suddenly you're struggling to stay in stride 

Then you calm your hand and you cool your mind 

And you wake up happy on the other side 

      C 
Baby, you got what it takes 
D7                                G 
You got what it takes to save the world 

G 
When you get into trouble you cannot command 

Maybe God's trying to guide your hand 

Shining the light upon where you stand 

So that you continue and you understand 

      C 
Baby, you got what it takes 
D7                                G 
You got what it takes to save the world 

C                D7 
Miracles happen, happen everyday 
   G                 C                           D7    G 
We don't know why, I guess we're just lucky that way 

G 
A homeless man with no place to sleep 

Woke up to find warm boots on his feet 

And a warm cup of coffee with sugar and cream 

Courtesy of the only wife he need 

       C 
Honey, you got what it takes 
D7                                G 
You got what it takes to save the world 
C 
You got what it takes 
D7                                G 
You got what it takes to save the world 

C 
You got what it takes 
D7 
You got what it takes 
G 
You got what it takes 
C                                 D7      G 
You got what it takes to save the world
