E                                     Esus4
Mommy, Daddy come and look at me now
E                                     Esus4
I'm a big man in a great big town
E                                     Esus4
Years ago who would believe it's true
E
Goes to show what a little faith can do

And I got pulled

And then you pulled
You pulled me up

I drift away to another land
Sleeping, dreaming, such a simple thing
I think of things that I might be
I see my name go down in history

I was complaining, I was down in the dumps
I feel so strong now 'cause you pulled me up!
Pulled me up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up!

Chorus:
I slipped, and I got pulled, pulled up
I tripped, and then you pulled, you pulled me up
I tripped, and I got pulled, pulled up
I slipped, and then you pulled, you pulled me up!

Pulled me up-up, pulled me up-up-up-ah!
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Pulled me up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up!

I got up 'cause you pulled me up
I stood up 'cause you pulled me up
I got up and that was because you pulled me up
I got up in a little while, you pulled me up
Up, pulled me up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up!
Aye-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Pulled me up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up!
Aye-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya

I cast a shadow on the living room wall
Dark and savage with a profile so sharp
Keep that wonderful food on the table
There's really no hurry, I'll eat in a while

I was complaining, I was down in the dumps
I feel so strong now 'cause you pulled me up!
Pulled me up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up!

Chorus:
I slipped, and I got pulled, pulled up
I tripped, and then you pulled, you pulled me up
I slipped, and I got pulled, pulled up
I slipped, and then you pulled, you pulled me up!

Pulled me up-up, pulled me up-up-up, oh I got!
Ah-ya-ya-ya-ya-yeah
Pulled me up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up!
Ah-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya!
Pulled me up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up!
Ah-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya!
Pulled me up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up!
