Higher Chords by Creed
From the Album Human Clay (1999)
Tuning: Standard
[Verse 1] D , G
When dreaming I'm guided to another world
Time and time again
At sunrise I fight to stay asleep
'Cause I don't want to leave the comfort of this place
'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape
From the life I live when I'm awake
[Refrain] F# , G
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?
[Chorus]
D A G
Can you take me higher?
D A G
To a place where blind men see
D A G
Can you take me higher?
D A G
To a place with golden streets
[Verse 2] D , G
Although I would like our world to change
It helps me to appreciate
Those nights and those dreams
But, my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights
If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same
The only difference is
To let love replace all our hate
[Refrain 2] F# , G
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?
[Chorus]
D A G
Can you take me higher?
D A G
To a place where blind men see
D A G
Can you take me higher?
D A G
To a place with golden streets
D A G
Up High I feel like I'm alive for the very first time
D A G
Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams, and make them mine
D A G
Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams, and make them mine
[Guitar Break]
[Chorus] x2
D A G
Can you take me higher?
D A G
To a place where blind men see
D A G
Can you take me higher?
D A G
To a place with golden streets
