Here's Celine Dion's "If That's What It Takes" from
the Falling Into You album.  It's a simple song, the
best way to get it down would be to play along with
the CD.
             
Verse:  You're

              
 the bravest o

         
f hearts   

              
You're the str

             
ongest of soul

  
s

             
You're my ligh

           
t in the dark

              
You're the pla

                        
ce I call home

              
You can say it

     
's alright

              
But I know tha

             
t you're break

     
ing up inside

         
I see it in yo

            
ur eyes

              
Even you face 

             
the night  afr

             
aid and alone

             
That's why I'l

        
l be there...

             
CHORUS:  When 

              
the storm rise

      
s up

              
when the shado

           
ws descend  ev

              
ery beat of my

   
 heart

             
every day with

             
out end   ever

              
y second I liv

   
e

              
that's the pro

           
mise I make  B

              
aby that's wha

        
t I'll give

             
If that's what

         
 it takes   If

    
 that's what i

t takes

Verse2:You can sleep in my arms, you don't have to
explain. When your heart's crying out, baby whisper
my name.  'Cause I've reached out for you, when the
thunder is crashing  up above, you've given me your
love.  When you smile like the sun that shines
through the pain, that's why I'll be there.

Chorus2:When the storm rises up, when the shadows
descend, every beat of my heart, every day without
end.  I will stand like a rock, I will bend till I
break, till there's no more to give, if that's what
it takes.  I will risk everything, I will fight, I
will bleed, I will lay down my life if that's what
you need.  Every second I live, that's the promise I
make, baby that's what I'll give, if that's what it
takes.
           
Chorus3:   Thr

              
ough the wind 

             
and the rain

              
through the sm

              
oke and the fi

  
re

              
when the fear 

             
rises up  when

            
 the wave's ev

          
er higher

              
I will lay dow

             
n my heart  my

              
 body   my sou

  
l

              
I will hold on

             
 all night and

            
 never let go

              
Every second I

             
 live  that's 

              
the promise I 

     
make

              
Baby that's wh

              
at I'll give


If that's what

 it takes....
