[Intro]
C Dm Am G (2x)
[Verse 1]
C
I used to be broken
C
Stuck in a cage
C
I used to be low down
C
I couldn't be saved
C
Now I feel like a lion
C
That cannot be tamed
C
Cause you brought me back to life, to life again
[Pre-Chorus]
C
I was fearless but so easily
C
I let life fade away the colour of my dreams
C
Now you're with me, I know I can be
C
Higher, higher than higher
[Chorus]
C
(You're lifting me up)
Dm
If you weren't, you weren't here
Am
I'd be on the ground
G
If you weren't, you weren't here
C
I'd be out of my mind
Dm
'Cause you are, you are here
Am G
I can be higher, higher than higher
C
(You're lifting me up)
Dm
If you weren't, you weren't here
Am
I'd be lost in the fire
G
If you weren't, you weren't here
C
Couldn't open up my eyes
Dm
'Cause you are, you are here
Am G
I can be higher, higher than higher
C
(You're lifting me up)
[Instrumental]
C Dm Am G
[Verse 2]
C
The sky is a long way
C
When covered in rain
C
You gave me my vision
C
You gave me my faith
C
And now I'm a fighter
C
I found the flame
C
You set me alight, alight again
[Pre-Chorus]
C
I was careless but so easily
C
I let life fade away the colour of my dreams
C
Now you're with me, I know we can be
C
Higher, higher than higher
[Chorus]
C
(You're lifting me up)
Dm
If you weren't, you weren't here
Am
I'd be on the ground
G
If you weren't, you weren't here
C
I'd be out of my mind
Dm
'Cause you are, you are here
Am G
I can be higher, higher than higher
C
(You're lifting me up)
Dm
If you weren't, you weren't here
Am
I'd be lost in the fire
G
If you weren't, you weren't here
C
Couldn't open up my eyes
Dm
'Cause you are, you are here
Am G
I can be higher, higher than higher
C
(You're lifting me up)
[Bridge]
C
Just one way for us now
C
There's no coming down
C
You've brought me back to life
C
So I'm gonna go up
C
Higher, higher than higher
C
Higher than higher, higher than higher
[Final Chorus]
C
(You're lifting me up)
Dm
'Cause you are, you are here
Am
Got my feet off the ground
G
'Cause you are, you are here
C
Still losing my mind
Dm
'Cause you are, you are here
Am G
I can be higher, higher than higher
C
(You're lifting me up)
Dm
'Cause you are, you are here
Am
Now I've found the fire
G
'Cause you are, you are here
C
I can open up my eyes
Dm
'Cause you are, you are here
Am
I can be higher
G
Higher than higher
C
Higher than higher
Dm
Higher, higher than higher
Am G
Higher, higher than higher
C Dm
Higher, higher than higher
Am G
Higher, higher than higher
C
You're lifting me up
Dm
Higher, higher than higher
Am G
Higher, higher than higher
