Standard (EADGBE)

Well, I have sat alone at night and cried myself to sleep

 And I have prayed my soul to take when sorrow seems so deep.

 But darkness turns so quickly to the light of day

 When someone special came along and carried me away.

Chorus

 You lift me up when I get down, when I'm lost you turn me around

 Wind and rain can't wash away the peace you give to me.

 And in a sea of trouble I know that I won't drown

 I'm safe 'cause your love lifts me to a higher ground (higher ground)

 To a higher ground.

Troubled times may bring me down and drive me to my knees

And I am blinded by despair and cannot see.

But you take a hold and carry me again

Then I know I'll never break though I sometimes bend.

Chorus
