I Lift You Up Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F][C][Em][G][Am]
[F][Bb][Am][C][Em][G]

[Verse 1]
[Am]We had to struggle at the start
[F]I still [Am]have scars on my [Em]hands[Am]
But some[F]times the things
that [Am]we need
We were never worthy to receive
And [Em]only time can under
stand
[G][Em]

[Verse 2]
[Am]
Don’t run from me now
[Em]I kn[Am]ow[Em][Am]
you’re scared like a [Em]lamb
[Am]But I’ll never regret who you [F]are
[Am]You’ve grown so much
To come so far
And now you’re standing at the [Em]edge
[Am]When the darkness

[Verse 3]
[Dm]comes
[Am]And you’re lying in be[Em]d
Surrounded [Am]by voices
Like the voices in your [Em]head
[Dm]You will nev[Am]er need to despa[Em]ir
I [G]will be here

[Verse 4]
[C]I, I lift you [Am]up
From [Em]the bottom of my [G]heartache
And [C]I, I wish you [Am]well
From [Em]the top of every [G]summit

[Verse 5]
[G]I[F][C]
[G][C][G][Am]
weep [F]for you

[Interlude 1]
[F][C][G]
[Am]

[Verse 6]
I made [Am]you all that you [Dm]are[Am][Em][Am]
No matter how far you [Em]roam[Am]
Like planting seeds in [Dm]the soil[Am]
I’d water [C]flowers with [Am]tears of joy
If crying eyes would bring
you [G]home
[Am]

[Verse 7]
[Dm]
Each [Am]child that learns [Dm]from his
[Am]father[Em][Am]
Will take a piece of his [Em]soul[Am]
How could I [Dm]hope for something less
[Am]A fragile [C]wish cast on a[Em] thread
[Am]If feeling this pain could make
you [Em]whole

[Verse 8]
[Dm]When the water [Am]rises
Stealing your [Em]breath
Chilling [Am]your heart
As it beats in your [Em]chest
[Dm]You [Am]will never need to d[Dm]espair
[Am]I wi[Em]ll be here[G]

[Verse 9]
[C]I, I lift you [Am]up
From the bot[Em]tom of my [G]heartache
And I, [C]I wish you w[Am]ell
From [Em]the top of every summit
[G][F][C][G][Am]
[F][C][Am][Dm][G][Am]
[F][C][G]
[Am]I weep for you

[Outro 1]
[F][C][G]
