Higher

Tom: Am

Amaj7
Soften up the mess
Amaj7
Drop it in the water
        Emaj7
Let the daughter find her image with the rest
                          Amaj7
She'll be learning how to breathe

Amaj7
Spinning through identity
  Emaj7                         G
Revealing 'nother pretty little scheme
Em7      Amaj7
Save her mind
         Emaj7
Hold her hand
    Gmaj7           Fmaj7    Emaj7
And don't believe a lie, you understand me?


[Verse 2]
Amaj7
Walk her down the valley
                               Emaj7
Pack a piece of heaven for the bottoms of her feet
                                 Amaj7
Teach her how to jump and how to stretch when she reach
                Emaj7                              Em7
Like the angels do and you gon' make it through now

Amaj7
Tell her 'bout the healer
                              Emaj7
Greater is the One Within her call Him as the leader
                                 Gmaj7
Teach her how to hold her pretty hand up to the sky
Fmaj7
And have her wait upon the Giver
      Emaj7
He'll deliver like a dealer


[Chorus]
            Amaj7
To take her higher
Emaj7
Higher
Amaj7                      Emaj7
Fly out the valley and the fire
     Em7 A
Take her higher

Emaj7
     Higher
Gmaj7          Fmaj7          Emaj7
Fly up out the valley and the fire


[Verse 3]
Amaj7
Train her feet for runnin'
                                Emaj7
Show her every door and how the window's let the sun in
                                Amaj7
Copy out the key and tell her, "This is forth becoming"
                        Emaj7
Even in the fever, baby cry and get to runnin'

    Gbm7              E7              Amaj7
And tell her that you better get your boots trapped up, you're with the army
               Emaj7
Ready when the truth act up, nothing can harm me
                 Gmaj7
Yelling from the roof, I touch
         Fmaj7
Put up a guard and count to ten

Emaj7
Lion's den, speaking with a higher pen
                 Amaj7
Can't be touched by fire then


[Verse 4]
Amaj7
Fast-forward to the grown things now
    Emaj7
I'm working on them soul things now
                  Amaj7
Forgiven all your old ways
                            Emaj7      E
But it's harder on the cold days (Cold days)

Amaj7
Never been a product of a flawless environment
Emaj7
     Never acted like I'm higher than
Gmaj7     Fmaj7     Emaj7
You, you, you, you, you
            Amaj7
And I still pray


[Outro]
Amaj7
Dear God, won't you send me a break?
       Emaj7
'Cause I need to get away, yeah
Amaj7
     Dear God, won't you send me a break?
       Emaj7             Gbm7 E7
'Cause I, I need to get away, yeah

Amaj7                                             Emaj7
     'Cause I would rather be, rather be runnin' away
Emaj7
I would rather be, rather be runnin'
Gmaj7                    Fmaj7
     Dear God, won't you send me a break?
      Emaj7                                                Amaj7
'Cause I need to get away, yeah ('Cause I need to get away now)

               Emaj7
I need to get away now

Amaj7   Emaj7    Gbm7          Em7
