Lift Me Up

A jolly uplifting pop tune about the need to open up... the opposite of 'I am a Rock', if you like.

UFS 06 Lift Me Up

verse

A E G D

The sun won’t make me wilt, I’ve got a shade for my eyes

A E G D

I built my house on stilts, for when the waters rise

A E G D

I keep my mind from guilt, to rise above the lies

 

I built a tall stockade, to keep me secure

I trained in first aid, so I’d have the cure

Safe but afraid then you broke down the door

 

chorus

F G Bb C D

Lift me up, lift me up, and set me flying free

F G Bb C D

Lift me up, lift me up, soar in harmony

 

 

I was so tightly held, no way in but no way out

I was a hermit crab there in my shell, dragging it all about

But now you broke that spell, wanna scream, wanna shout

 

Repeat chorus

 

Break

Bm F#m

Open for all to see

Bm A A7

The power in vulnerability

 

Verse in D: D A C G

In order to see you must stand tall

You have to agree to be open to all

Before you break free you must tear down the walls

 

Chorus in Bb : Bb C Eb F G

 

Instrumental verse in G to fade-out : G D F C
