Oh, [Ab]rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and slidin'
It's [Fm]magic

[Pre-chorus 1]
And [Em]you, and your sweet de[Dm]sire
You took [Em]me, o[Dm]h,
[Em]higher and highe[F]r, baby[G]

[Chorus 1]
[C]It's a liv[Am]in' thing
[F]It's a ter[Dm]rible thi[Gaug]ng to lose[C]

From your [Am]worst day (I'm taking a dive)
Oh, [Ab]moving in line then you look back in time
To the [Fm]first day (I'm taking, I'm taking)

[Pre-chorus 2]
And [Em]you, and your sweet de[Dm]sire
(Don't you do it, don't you do it)
You took [Em]me, o[Dm]h,

[Verse 3]
[C]Takin' a dive 'cause you can't halt the slide
Float[Am]ing downstream (I'm taking a dive)
Oh, [Ab]so let her go, don't start spoiling the show
It's a [Fm]bad dream (I'm taking, I'm taking)

[Pre-chorus 3]
And [Em]you, and your sweet de[Dm]sire
(Don't you do it, don't you do it)
You took [Em]me, o[Dm]h,
[Em]higher and highe[F]r, baby[G]

It's a [Am]given thing
