_ [C#m] _ _ _ Oof.
[B] _
You know, iconic was a word we never used.
_ [Bm] _ _ [G#] We were three [E] kids, and we [A] were just doing what we loved doing.
[D] _ We [A] always looked [Bm] for stuff that gave you [G#] the goose bumps.
[E] You just [A] have to follow that.
[D] You cannot [G#] create anything iconic [F#m] by planning to do so.
It is something that happens.
[A] _ _ [B] To have written [Bm] something at such a young [G#] age become _ [E] _ [F#m] probably the thing that you're
most famous for.
_ [A] It's a [Bm] bewildering thing.
_ It's not you, but [G#m] the audience that [E] decides _ [F#m]
what is your most important [D] _ statement.
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
Take _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
on [F#m] _ _ me.
[F#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
Take _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ _ me [F#m] _ _ _ _
on.

_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] I'll be _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ gone _ _ [D] _ _
in a day [A] or _ two.
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
We've [E] been on _ an incredible [B] journey together [Bm] _ _ since [E] that song.
_ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
Take on me is one of the few [A] songs that couldn't [Bm] have come out _ [E] exactly that way without all
three of [F#m] us involved. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [B] _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ My biggest _ [F#] contribution _ is the songs.
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ Every song [E] has to have that one moment _ [F#m] where you feel like, whoa, what happened there?
[G#m] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
Music [E] words and visuals [C#m] have always been a [F#m] part of my life.
I'm doing the same now [D] that I did as a 15-year-old.
[A]
I paint, [E] I write, and I _ play music. _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [B] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
My [F#] role in Aha [D] is as the believer.
[A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ Take _ on me.
Morten [F#m] _ certainly brought a flair to the band, and I think [C#m] _
Morten's [A] vocals _ _ is one of the
[G#m] main reasons why _ the [F#] music that Paul and I made has gone into [D] the mainstream.
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#] I'll be _
_ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] gone in a day or two.
When I joined [A] the band, we went to [E] Paul's parents' place, and [D] the first thing they play
is [E] the riff for Take on Me _ [Bm] that comes from Wagner.
_ _ [E] _ We had a little bit of that [A] kind of sugar rush.
Morten [D] loved it.
[C#m] But I knew there [Bm] and then that this is a world hit.
[E] _ _
_ _ One of the [A] things that united the [D] three of us, as [C#m] different _ _ [Bm] personalities as we are,
is that we [E] all _ dared to dream big.
Who [G] said that we couldn't be the [E] biggest band in the world?
_ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] Take on _ _
_ _ [F#m] _ _ me. _ _
_ _ _ [C#m] These actual [A] roads _ carry a lot of memories [G#m] for us.
_ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
We've been on [D] one hell of a journey. _
_ _ _ [A] _ We never [C#] rested on our laurels.
We always [F#m] pushed _ ourselves and [D] our audience to accept music that [A] was new, different and [E] ambitious. _
_ _ For us [D] to reinvent _ _ is [E] a must. _
Pop music [Bm] is about taking [E] a formula that's existed for [A]
40 or 50 years now and [D] _
reinventing
it [C#m] all the time.
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ The [E] bus clearly is an iconic vehicle, [A] _ and the fact that they are turning [D] electric [C#m] is
a massive statement.
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ It represents [Bm] a mind change which [E] is vital _ for the times [A] ahead. _ _ _ _ _
[C#] I'll be _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ gone _ _ [D] _ _
_ in a day _ [A] or two. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
Reinvention is [D] nature.
_ We are nature.
[A] In a day or _ two. _
