View chords used in this chart
Capo 2
Intro: C Em C6 F (2x)
C
Well I fell down, down, down
Em
Into this dark and lonely hole
C6 F
There was no one there to care about me anymore
C Em C6
And I needed a way to climb and grab a hold of the edge
F
You were sitting there holding a rope.
C
And we'll go up, up, up
Em
But I'll fly a little higher
C6 F
We'll go up in the clouds because the view is a little nicer
C Em
Up here my dear
Am F
It won't be long now, it won't be long now. (Same for the rest of the song. Don't play the bridge.)
When I get back on land
Well I'll never get my chance
Be ready to live and it'll be ripped right out of my hands
Maybe someday we'll take a little ride
We'll go up, up, up and everything will be just fine.
And we'll go up, up, up
But I'll fly a little higher
We'll go up in the clouds because the view is a little nicer
Up here my dear.
It won't be long now, it won't be long now
If only I had a little bit more time
If only I had a little bit more time with you.
We could go up, up, up
And take that little ride
And sit there holding hands
And everything would be just right
And maybe someday I'll see you again
We'll float up in the clouds and we'll never see the end.
And we'll go up, up, up
But I'll fly a little higher
We'll go up in the clouds because the view is a little nicer
Up here my dear
It won't be long now, it won't be long now.
