VERSE 1:
[D] Sailin' away on the crest of a wave, its like [Bm] magic
[Bb] Rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and slidin', it's [Gm] magic
And [F#m] you, and your sweet [Em] desire,
You took [F#m] me, [Em] oh [F#m] oh, [G] higher and higher, [A] baby

CHORUS:
[D] It's a [Bm] livin' thing, [G] it's a [Em] terrible [A] thing to [D] lose
It's a [Bm] given thing, [G] what a [Em] terrible [A] thing to [D] lose

VERSE 2:
[D] Making believe this is what you've conceived, from your [Bm] worst day
[Bb] Moving in line when you look back in time, to your [Gm] first day
And [F#m] you, and your sweet [Em] desire
You took [F#m] me, [Em] oh [F#m] oh, higher and [G] higher, [A] baby

REPEAT CHORUS:

BREAK: [Cm] [G] // [A] [D] [A]

VERSE 3:
[D] Takin' a dive 'cos you can't halt the slide, floating down [Bm] stream
[Bb] So let her go don't start spoiling the show, it's a bad [Gm] dream
And [F#m] you, and your sweet [Em] desire
You took [F#m] me, [Em] oh- [F#m] oh, higher and [G] higher, [A] baby

REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]
