[D#] Sailin' away on the crest of a wave, its like [Cm] magic
[B] Rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and slidin', it's [G#m] magic
And [Gm] you, and your sweet [Fm] desire,
You took [Gm] me, [Fm] oh [Gm] oh, [G#] higher and higher, [A#] baby

CHORUS:
[D#] It's a [Cm] livin' thing, [G#] it's a [Fm] terrible [A#] thing to [D#] lose

[D#] Making believe this is what you've conceived, from your [Cm] worst day
[B] Moving in line when you look back in time, to your [G#m] first day

You took [Gm] me, [Fm] oh [Gm] oh, higher and [G#] higher, [A#] baby

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