Higher - Creed

Drop D tuning   Play the INTRO twice, then:

D                                       G
When dreaming I'm guided through another world
                  D   G
Time and time again
     D                       G
At sunrise I fight to stay asleep
                                   D               G
'Cause I don't want to leave the comfort of this place
                   D                      G   
'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape
                           D    G             
from the life I live when I'm awake
F#    G
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?
D  Dsus2    G   F#   D
Can you take me higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me higher?
To a place with golden streets
D                                      G
Although I would like our world to change
                  D
It helps me to appreciate
                           G
Those nights and those dreams
      D                       G             
But, my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights
                      D                      G
If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same
      D              G  
The only difference is
              D               G               
To let love replace all our hate

F#    G
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?

D  Dsus2    G   F#   D
Can you take me higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me higher?
To a place with golden streets

F#    G
let's go there
let's go there
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?

D  Dsus2    G   F#   D
Can you take me higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me higher?
To a place with golden streets

D  Dsus2    G   F#   D
Can you take me higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me higher?
To a place with golden streets
