                  Am  Em  F
It takes a lot to know a man
                     Am  Em  F
It takes a lot to understand
                 Am  Em  F
The warrior, the sage
                 Am  Em  F
The little boy in rage
                        Am  Em  F
It takes a lot to know a woman
                              Am  Em  F
A lot to understand what's humming
                      Am  Em  F
The honey-bee, that stings
                        Am  Em  F
The little girl with wings



                  Am       Dm       G       E      Am
It takes a lot to give, to ask for help, to be yourself
    Dm      Esus4              E
to know and love what you live with
                  Am       Dm       G         Em      Am
It takes a lot to be, to touch, to feel, the slow re-veal
   Dm           E
of what another body needs



                        Am  Em  F
It tales a lot to know a man
                        Am  Em  F
A lot to know to understand
                   Am  Em  F
the father and the son
                   Am  Em  F
the hunted and the gone
                          Am  Em  F
It takes a lot to know a woman
                           Am  Em  F
A lot to comprehend what's coming
                     Am  Em  F
The mother and the child
                   Am  Em  F
The muse and the beguiled
