Whatever It Takes — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
Watch "Whatever It Takes" by Imagine Dragons in falling notes style — like Synthesia. Color-coded notes fall onto the keyboard in real time. Practice left hand, right hand, or both. Key of C, 135 BPM.
Tip: Use the speed control to practice at 70% tempo first. Focus on tricky chord transitions before attempting the full arrangement.
Lyrics
(Am)Fall ing too fast to pre pare for this, (G)trip ping in the world could be dan ge rous.
(Em)Ev ’ry bod y cir cl ing, it’s vul tu rous, neg a tive, nep o tist.
(Am)Ev ’ry bod y wait ing for the fall of man, (G)ev ’ry bod y pray ing for the end of times.
(Em)Ev ’ry bod y hop ing they could be the one.
I was born to run, I was born for this.
(Am)Whip, whip, run me like a (G)race horse.
Pull me like a (D)rip cord, break me down and (Em)build me up.
I want to be the (Am)slip, slip, word u pon your (G)lip, lip.
Let ter that you (D)rip, rip.
Break me down and (Em)build me up, what ev er it takes,
’cause I love the a (G)dren al ine in my veins.
I do what ev er it takes
’cause I love how it (G)feels when I break the chains.
What ev er it takes,
you (G)take me to the top.
I’m (Am)read y for what ev er it takes
’cause I love the a (G)dren a line in my veins.
I do what it takes.
(Am)Al ways had a fear of be ing ty pi cal, (G)look ing at my bod y, feel ing mis ’ra ble.
(Em)Al ways hang ing on to the vi su al, I want to be in vis i ble.
(Am)Look ing at my years like a mar tyr dom, (G)ev ’ry bod y needs to be a part of them.
(Em)Nev er be e nough, I’m the pro di gal son.
I was born to run, I was born for this.
I do what it takes.
Hyp o crit i cal, e go (G)tis ti cal, don’t want to be the (Em)par en thet i cal, hy po thet i cal.
Work ing on to (Am)some thing that I’m proud of, (G)out of the box, an e pox y to the world and the vi sion we’ve lost.
I’m an a (Am)pos tro phe, I’m just a (G)sym bol to re mind you that there’s (Em)more to see.
I’m just a prod uct of the sys tem, a ca (Am)tas tro phe.
And yet a (G)mas ter piece and yet I’m (Em)half dis eased.
And when I am de ceased at least I (Am)go down to the grave and die (G)hap pi ly.
Leave the (Em)bod y of my soul to be a part of me.
I do what it takes.
What ev er it takes,
’cause I love the a (G)dren al ine in my veins.
I do what ev er it takes
’cause I love how it (G)feels when I break the chains.
What ev er it takes,

I’m (Am)read y for what ev er it takes
’cause I love the a (G)dren a line in my veins.
I do what it takes.
