Higher Ground

	  		
Am               F 
  I know when my day will come 
   G 
Go back to the place where I came from 
F 
Lookin' back will I think that I did the right? 
C              E 
 I still don't sleep at night 
Am          F 
I got these symphonies 
G 
Stuck in my head 

And they don't leave 
F 
Fillin' up the silence with these notes 
C             E 
 I don't want them to go 

Am       F          G 
  Ghosts follow me around these days 
F 
 Haunting my head and house 
C           E 
 My mind is crazy loud 
      Am    F    G 
But I won't give in to it 
F                      C 
 Take it all in stride 

                    Am 
This life is such a ride 
               G 
I live until I die 
                F 
I walk into the fire 
                      C      E 
I'm searching for the higher ground 
       Am 
What a life 
               G 
I live until I die 
                    F 
Won't fail unless I try 
                      C      E 
I'm searching for the higher ground 

Am              F 
  I've got that golden gun 
G 
I was born as the seventh son 
F 
Everything comes with conditions 
C                     
Everyone's got their dirty dishes 
Am             F 
I've got these memories 
G 
Stuck in my head, and they won't leave 
F 
Filling up my treetops with these crows 
C            E 
 I wish that they would go 

                    Am 
This life is such a ride 
               G 
I live until I die 
                F 
I walk into the fire 
                      C      E 
I'm searching for the higher ground 
       Am 
What a life 
               G 
I live until I die

Won't fail unless I try

                      C      E 
I'm searching for the higher ground 

Am                G 
  Get it, got it, want it 
                            F 
Tell me what to do, and I'm on it 
                 C 
I am the witness 
            E 
The genesis 

The reason 
Am                G 
  Get it, got it, want it 
                            F 
Tell me what to do, and I'm on it 
                C            E 
I am the witness, the witness, the witness 

(The witness, the witness, the witness)
