Upper Me

Eric Woolfson


Tom: Cm

D7

[Verse 1]
    D7
The time has come the wild one said
     G7
When we must all decide
   D7
We cannot carry on this way
    G7
And so we must divide


[Pre-Chorus]
    Bb
The road before us runs both ways
   G7
So which one do you choose
    Bb              G             D7
But all will not go well if you refuse


[Chorus]
Dm
What becomes of the upper me
         Bbmaj7
when the fire burns in my mind?
G7                       Dm
How can I leave my Ego behind?

Dm
I return to another me
     Bbmaj7
or I lose the will to survive
G7                      D7
How can I keep my hero alive?


[Verse 2]
   D7
It seems to me the wise one said
    G7
The mountains are so high
    D7
The river is too deep to cross
    G7
And none of us can fly


[Pre-Chorus]
    Bb
But I believe that compromise
   G7
Is what is needed here
   Bb          G                  D7
Well surely we become the things we fear


[Bridge]
        F7
But the good in me don't wanna believe
F7
That the evil me is so
F7
And a voice somewhere said do as you please
                      G#                  Bb
But the upper me said no, no, no, no, no, no...


[Chorus]
Dm
What becomes of the upper me
         Bbmaj7
when the fire burns in my mind?
G7                       Dm
How can I leave my Ego behind?

Dm
I return to another me
     Bbmaj7
or I lose the will to survive
G7                      Dm
How can I keep my hero alive?


[Solo]
Chords same as verse + pre-chorus


[Bridge]
        F7
But the good in me don't wanna believe
F7
That the evil me is so
F7
And a voice somewhere said do as you please
                      G#                  Bb
But the upper me said no, no, no, no, no, no...


[Chorus]
Dm
What becomes of the upper me
         Bbmaj7
when the fire burns in my mind?
G7                       Dm
How can I leave my Ego behind?

Dm
I return to another me
     Bbmaj7
or I lose the will to survive
G7                      Dm
How can I keep my hero alive?
