              Intro: F#m  E  C#m  B 
 
 
verse 1 
        F#m 
I was lost 
            E 
Alone, and searchin' 
       C#m                         B 
For someone who understands me for who I really am 
       F#m              E 
Didn't know that I was hurtin' 
         C#m                        B 
'Til you lift me up inside, finally opened up my eyes, oh 
 
 
Pre-Chorus 
F#m 
If you wanna know if I'm thinkin' 
E 
Ever since you came, I'm livin' 
C#m                             B 
On top of the world, I can't deny 
F#m 
Every one of my fears has vanished 
E 
And I don't know how you managed 
C#m                      B 
To wake me up and come alive 
 
 
A                           E 
You take me higher than the rest  
    C#m                       B 
Oh, everybody else is second best  
A                            E 
You pulled a gem out of the mess, I'm blessed 
      C#m                        B 
I was cynical before, I must confess 
             A    E    C#m     B 
Oh, you got me high, high, higher 
             A    E    C#m     B 
Oh, you got me high, high, higher 
 
 
verse 2 
           F#m 
Took some time 
           E 
A few mistakes, but 
          C#m 
You quite didn't show me how 
       B 
Never let me hit the ground 
         F#m         E 
All the love was hesitating 
          C#m  
But ever since you came around 
        B 
I feel more than safe and sound, yeah 
 
 
Pre-Chorus 
F#m 
If you wanna know if I'm thinkin' 
E 
Ever since you came, I'm livin' 
C#m                             B 
On top of the world, I can't deny 
F#m 
Every one of my fears has vanished 
E 
And I don't know how you managed 
C#m                      B 
To wake me up and come alive 
 
 
A                           E 
You take me higher than the rest  
    C#m                       B 
Oh, everybody else is second best  
A                            E 
You pulled a gem out of the mess, I'm blessed 
      C#m                        B 
I was cynical before, I must confess 
             A    E    C#m     B 
Oh, you got me high, high, higher 
             A    E    C#m     B 
Oh, you got me high, high, higher
