Higher Ground

[D]I've been crawling
[Em]To the mountains
[G]Skinned my knees with blood and[D] hope
If [D]I stayed standing
[Em]I'd be drowning
[G]The rising waters made m[D]e choke

[G]As I am getting nearer[Bm]
      G                     Asus4---A
My mission is coming clear

I know this road [D]
Never seen it before  [A]
I know what lies [Bm]behind unopened doors       [G]
I saw the sign[Em]s from the distant shore     [D]
That I could[A]n't ignore...
I'm heading for highe[G]r ground

[D]I left everyon[Em]e behind me
[G]I took everything[D] I know
[D]Half way up and I'm st[Em]ill climbing
[G]Still a million m[D]iles to go

The wate[G]r is drawing nearer [Bm]
       G               Asus4---A
As everything disappears

I know this road[D]
Never seen it befor[A]e
I know what lies b[Bm]ehind unopened doors       [G]
I saw the signs[Em] from the distant shore     [D]
That I coul[A]dn't ignore...
I'm heading for highe[G]r ground

And my foot [G]slips
But I don[D]'t quit
And my hand[Bm] grips the rock    [A]
Something pulls [G]deep
From withi[D]n me
Til I g[Bm]et there, I won't stop[A]

I know this road[D]
Never seen it before [A]
I know what lies b[Bm]ehind unopened doors       [G]
I saw the signs[Em] from the distant shore     [D]
            Asus4---A
That I couldn't ignore
I know this road[D]
Never seen it before[A]
I know what lies b[Bm]ehind unopened doors      [G]
I saw the signs[Em] from the distant shore     [D]
That I coul[A]dn't ignore
I'm heading for higher[G], higher ground

[D]Way up here, the air is [Em]thin
[G]Feels like I could go s[D]o far
