Capo on 1st fret
              
 
C 
I don't need your answered prayers 
Or the chains your lover wears 
I don't need your rings of gold 
Or the secrets that you hold 
        F 
Lift me up, darling 
        C       Am                        F 
Lift me up and I'll fall with you lift me up 
                      Am  G 
Let your love lift me up 
 
C 
I don't need your sacred vow 
Am 
Or the promise tomorrow brings 
 
C 
Veiled behind the morning clouds 
Am 
I'll take the faith the daylight brings 
  
 
        F 
Lift me up, darling 
        C      Am                         F 
Lift me up and I'll fall with you lift me up 
                      Am  G 
Let your love lift me up 
 
 
F                C  Am  F 
When the morning bright 
                 C  Am  F 
Lifts away this night 
                C  Am  F 
In the light above 
  
 
We will find our love, we will find our love 
 
 Em | Dm | G | F | F 
 
      C 
Your skin, your hand upon my neck 
     Am 
This skin, your fingers on my skin 
     C 
This kiss, this heartbeat, this breath 
     Am 
This heart, this heart, this wilderness 
 
        F 
Lift me up, darling 
        C       Am                        F 
Lift me up and I'll fall with you lift me up 
                      Am 
Let your love lift me up
