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

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

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

REPEAT CHORUS:

BREAK: [Bm] [F#] // [G#] [C#] [G#]

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

REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]
