Verse
D                       F#                 Bm
There once was a little girl playing on a swingset
         Em                     D                     G              A
That her grandpa built by the sycamore tree near the rusty farmyard gate.
              D                F#
And while her mama pinned the laundry,
           Bm
the little girl would cry out loud,
Em                D              G                A
"Push me higher, push me higher, push me I can't wait."
    Bm                                            G               D
Her mama would push a couple times but there was laundry still to do,
        G                     D          G                             A
So she learned to use her own strength, pull her own weight, push on through.
Chorus
         D   F#  Bm
To swing higher, higher than before.
G           A
Higher, but afraid to reach for something more.
F#m       G
Higher, higher towards the sky.
Em                                  G    A       D
Until the day she bent to kiss her mama a last goodbye.
modulates up a whole step
Verse
D                       F#                 Bm
There once was a little boy who rode that swing set.
         Em                       D                     G                 A
He had a licorice twist from the store in town and two knobby skinned-up knees.
              D                F#
And while his sister pin the laundry,
           Bm
the little boy would cry out loud,
Em                D              G                A
"Push me higher, push me higher, push me, pretty please."
    Bm                                            G               D
The girl would push a couple times but there was laundry still to do,
        G                     D          G                             A
Then she watched, amazed, as that little boy simply pulled his own weight through.
Chorus
         D   F#  Bm
To swing higher, higher than she dared.
G           A
Higher, how'd he swing so high and not be scared?
F#m       G
Higher, he could touch the sky.
Em                                  G         A            Bm
Right then she knew that he would also one day tell her goodbye.
Bridge
G                  D                G                         D
That little boy, he seemed so sure, was it something never taught to her?
F#m                   A               F#m                      A
How the years passed quickly by that girl's a woman still afraid to try.
G#m
Is it too late to start again, get back that feeling I had then?
A#m
But now my life is upside down,
A#m                                             G
There's no more farm, there's no more town, and no use asking why.
C#                         G
But I won't let it pass me by.
G
Life won't pass me by.
      D     F#
I'll fly...
G
Get back on that swing,
Em       A
Higher, soaring higher up than anything.
F#m      G
Higher, I want something more.
Em                                 Bm
I dreamed I'd reach for greater things,
Em                          Bm
My eyes upon those golden rings,
Em                                  A
I'll take what chance the future brings,
     D     Em    G    A    D
And soar...
