       C#m                    G#m
Like a star, you lead the way
                          F#m
Grab my heart and pull me far from yesterday
        B               C#m              G#m
Pick me up, our bodies bendin' into shape
                        F#m
They don't even see us leavin'
                           B
this thin air that we're breathin'

                C#m
It's so hard to see
                       B
We're lost in the moonlight
G#m                   A
Gotta leave it all behind
And forget we're alive

Chorus:
             C#m B       G#m    F#m
You take me higher than heaven above
            B
Heaven above
             C#m B        G#m         F#m
You take me higher, blinded by your sun
                   B
Blinded by your sun
  C#m
Oh, it hurts so amazing
    B     G#m              F#m
My body ablaze from this heat
                      B
we're creating tonight
             C#m B        G#m      F#m
You take me higher than heaven above
            B
Heaven above

Holdin' on and on and on
I'm free-fallin' when I'm slippin' from your arms
Hold me tight and show me I'm the one you want
'Cause it feels so good not knowin'
Exactly where we're goin'

It's so hard to see
We're lost in the moonlight
Gotta leave it all behind
And forget we're alive

Chorus:
You take me higher than heaven above
Heaven above
You take me higher, blinded by your sun
Blinded by your sun
Oh, it hurts so amazing
My body, ablaze from this heat we're
creatin' tonight
You take me higher than heaven above (Heaven)
Heaven above (Heaven)

            C#m          B     G#m
You take me high, high, high, high
F#m                         B
High, high, high, you take me higher
C#m          B     G#m
High, high, high, high
F#m
High, high, high

      B          C#m
It's so hard to see
                       B
We're lost in the moonlight
G#m                   A
Gotta leave it all behind
And forget we're alive

Chorus:
You take me higher than heaven above
(Take me higher)
Heaven above
You take me higher, blinded by your sun
Blinded by your sun

You take me high, high, high, high (Oh, high)
(You take me higher than—)
High, high, high (Oh, high)
(You take me higher than heaven)
High, high, high (Oh, high, higher than heaven, oh)
(You take me higher than—)
High, high, high
You take me higher than heaven
