Intro: Verse: repeated... Now she's thinking of the red soil and the mango trees In her mind she's still splashing round out on cable beach And her eyes are as rich and as far away as the sunset there She's not taking in a word I say Well I might as well be talking to myself Chorus: Take it in, take it all in Now is a time that will not come again Take it in, take it all in This is a day that is here for the living Verse: repeated... So we step outside into this Melbourne weather With a shock it brings her back to where she is Now we've made this place our home Surrounded by unknown Stick it out until it comes together Chorus: Take it in, take it all in Now is a time that will not come again Take it in, take it all in This is a day that is here for the living We're just living for a day to come or days gone by Never taking in each moment Never knowing what you had until it passed you by Chorus: Take it in, take it all in Now is a time that is here for the living Submitted by Benjamin Page NOTE Vicki plays Take It In live with a capo on the second fret instead of open. So instead of the chords being . The bridge should be . It sounds much better with the capo. Melissa Moisey
