Intro: E B A 
 
verse 1 
A                                             E/G# 
I've been running in circles I shouldn't have been running in 
A                                         E/G# 
Sliding down that hill into the depths of sin. 
 
I keep falling  
G#m              A 
Down here at the bottom 
G#m                    A 
It's a lonely place to know 
F#m 
I sure need your help right now. 
B 
I'm as low as I can go. 
 
 
E                     B 
Lift me up and you'll see 
A         E/G#           A 
I'll come around to what I should be 
E 
Touch my heart 
B                    A      E/G#   A 
Rid my soul of these demons that I can't control 
A                         B 
Reach down your hand from above 
E 
Lift me up 
 
 
verse 2 
A                                              E/G# 
I've been praying and wondering if I'm getting through to you 
A                                       E/G# 
It's in your hands, I've done all I can do 
 
That's the truth 
G#m                 A 
Lord I'll make this promise 
G#m             A  
Down here on my knees 
F#m 
I'll never get this way again  
B 
Just get me back on my feet 
 
 
E                     B 
Lift me up and you'll see  
A         E/G#           A 
I'll come around to what I should be 
E 
Touch my heart 
B                    A      E/G#   A 
Rid my soul of these demons that I can't control 
A                         B 
Reach down your hand from above 
E 
Lift me up. 
 
Bridge 
G#m                    A       
I don't know where I'm going   
G#m                       A 
I can't change where I've been 
C#m           F#            F#m/A         B 
So I need you to help me to never go back again. 
 
 
E                     B 
Lift me up and you'll see 
A         E/G#           A 
I'll come around to what I should be.  
E 
Touch my heart 
B                    A      E/G#   A 
Rid my soul of these demons that I can't control 
A                         B 
Reach down your hand from above 
        A                           B                     
Give me strength cause I don't have enough 
      F#m     G#m        B 
All I need is your sweet love 
        E   B   A

Lift me up.
