S1: The second single from Amanda Marshall's new CD "Tuesday's Child",
Capo: 1st
Intro: – -
–
Somebody told me once in a lifetime
Destiny finds you and blows you away
Spins you in circles pulls you in pieces
Bleeds you like Jesus and goes on its way
-
But it's oh so simple sometimes
-
Just to lay your heart open wide
If you wanna get to heaven then you gotta take the ride
Chorus:
Love lift me wherever you are
Convince me I'm safe in your arms
Love lift me make sense of it all
– –
Teach me to fly and don't let me fall
Somebody told me love makes you stupid
Makes you go crazy makes you go blind
-
Comes uninvited and leaves when it wants to
Calls you at midnight and ties up your line
But it's oh so sweet when it's right (there's nothin' better)
And you swear you won't but you might (you're gonna try)
Gotta fumble in the dark if you wanna see the light
CHORUS
Bridge:
/ - - -
And when it's all said and done it's just the same for everyone
-
You're busy making your plans love's like a bird, baby
Flying out of your hands
(Instrumental -- same chords as CHORUS)
And it's oh so hard to explain (we don't know nothin')
And your heart gets hold of your brain (but still we try)
Better batten down the hatches baby here we go again
Love lift me wherever you are
Convince me I'm safe in your arms
Love lift me I'm waiting on you
'Cause nothing can lift me the way that you do
Love lift me (Lift me up, lift me up, only love can take me higher)
Love lift me (Lift me up, lift me up, take me to a higher ground)
-
Love lift me (only love can take me higher)
- -
I wanna fly
