A				    E               A 
Well, I have sat alone at night and cried myself to sleep 
			 	       E               A 
And I have prayed my soul to take when sorrow seems so deep. 
    D					      A 
But darkness turns so quickly to the light of day 
 				    E           A 	 
When someone special came along and carried me away. 
 
Chorus: 
            A 				 D		   A  
You lift me up when I get down, when I'm lost you turn me around 
 						    E 
Wind and rain can't wash away the peace you give to me. 
    D		A         E		    F#m	    
And in a sea of trouble I know that I won't drown 
    D                A             E           D  
I'm safe 'cause your love lifts me to a higher ground (higher ground) 
            A  
To a higher ground.
