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?
