C#    D#     G#    A#m     Fm
Everybody's writing on the wall
C#     D#       G#      A#m    Fm
Taking all day long to read it all
C#      D#      G#      A#m       Fm
Staring in the face of what's to come
C#                D#                G#
Coming down I've saved a space for you

Chorus:
Fm  Cm
Up,  up
D#          A#        Fm Cm
Thought you wanted to be up
Thought you wanted to be loved
Don't you want to be loved?

Who could live without the harmony
The hundred million years of history
It's only coming down to you and me
Give me time and I'll make it up to you

Chorus

D#                             Fm
Reaching up to turn the clock around
            C#            D#
It's like a ladder to my heart
                 Fm              C#
A feeling that I got when I was young
          Fm        C#
Like the days, the days
      G#                 D#
Were folding up into my pocket
    Fm                    C#
And honestly I wouldn't change
                                 D#
a single thing about the time we had

Chorus:
Up, up
Thought you wanted to be up
Thought you wanted to be loved
Don't you want to be loved?
Don't you want to be
Up, up
Thought you wanted to be up
Thought you wanted to be loved
Don't you want to be loved?
