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

CHORUS:
[F#] It's a [D#m] livin' thing, [B] it's a [G#m] terrible [C#] thing to [F#] lose

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

BREAK: [Em] [B] // [C#] [F#] [C#]
