"Take It as It Comes" is a song by The Doors, released on their self-titled debut album in 1967. It is the tenth track on the record, and the last upbeat one, before the album's eerie closer, "The End".

According to the Jim Morrison biography No One Here Gets Out Alive, Morrison, the lead singer, wrote the lyrics as a tribute to the kind of meditation that his bandmates Robbie Krieger and John Densmore were into, even though he never became attached to it himself.

[edit] Cover versions

The Ramones recorded a cover of the song on their 1992 album Mondo Bizarro.
