Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

– -

  –

Somebody told me once in a lifetime

  Destiny finds you and blows you away

  Spins you in circles pulls you in pieces

  Bleeds you like Jesus and goes on its way

  But it's oh so simple sometimes

  Just to lay your heart open wide

  If you wanna get to heaven then you gotta take the ride

Chorus

  Love lift me wherever you are

  Convince me I'm safe in your arms

  Love lift me make sense of it all

  – –

Teach me to fly and don't let me fall

  Somebody told me love makes you stupid

  Makes you go crazy makes you go blind

  Comes uninvited and leaves when it wants to

  Calls you at midnight and ties up your line

  But it's oh so sweet when it's right (there's nothin' better)

  And you swear you won't but you might (you're gonna try)

  Gotta fumble in the dark if you wanna see the light

CHORUS

Bridge

  And when it's all said and done it's just the same for everyone

  You're busy making your plans love's like a bird, baby

  Flying out of your hands

(Instrumental -- same chords as CHORUS)

  And it's oh so hard to explain (we don't know nothin')

  And your heart gets hold of your brain (but still we try)

  Better batten down the hatches baby here we go again

  Love lift me wherever you are

  Convince me I'm safe in your arms

  Love lift me I'm waiting on you

  'Cause nothing can lift me the way that you do

  Love lift me (Lift me up, lift me up, only love can take me higher)

  Love lift me (Lift me up, lift me up, take me to a higher ground)

  Love lift me (only love can take me higher)

  I wanna fly
