       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

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

Chorus:
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

Took some time
A few mistakes, but
You quite didn't show me how
Never let me hit the ground
All the love was hesitating
But ever since you came around
I feel more than safe and sound, yeah

If you wanna know what I'm thinkin'
Ever since you came, I'm livin'
On top of the world, I can't deny
Every one of my fears has vanished
And I don't know how you managed
To wake me up and come alive

Chorus

F#m     G#m A           B C#m
Oh, yeah your love turns me on
          E
Gets me higher
F#m     G#m A          B C#m
Oh, yeah your love takes me up
          E
Gets me higher
F#m     G#m A           B C#m
Oh, yeah your love turns me on
          E
Gets me higher
F#m     G#m A          B C#m
Oh, yeah your love takes me up
          E
Gets me higher

Chorus:
You take me higher than the rest (Hey)
Oh, everybody else is second best
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) (Second best, second best)
You pulled a gem out of a mess
I was so cynical before, I must confess
Oh, you got me hi-i-igh (Hey), hi-i-igh (Hey),
hi-i-igher
Oh, you got me hi-i-igh (Hey), hi-i-igh (Hey),
hi-i-igher
Oh, you got me hi-i-igh (Hey), hi-i-igh (Hey),
hi-i-igher
Oh, you got me hi-i-igh (Hey), hi-i-igh (Hey),
hi-i-igher
Oh, you got me
