 B   A                 E
High, higher than the sun,
                     B
you shoot me from a gun
   A          E           B
I need you to elevate me here
        A              E
At the corner of your lips,
                      B
as the order of your hips
   A        E           B
Eclipse you elevate my soul

Chorus:
      A               E                       B
I've got no self-control, been living like a mole
     A         E
Now going down excavation
B      A         E
I and I in the sky,
                              B     A
you make me feel like I can fly so high
E
Elevation

A star, lit up like a cigar
Strung out like a guitar
Maybe you could educate my mind
Explain all these controls
I can't sing but I've got soul
The goal is elevation

Chorus:
A mole digging in a hole
Digging up my soul now going down excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high
Elevation

E                               A
Love, lift me up out of these blues
           E                  D
Won't you tell me something true
     A
I believe in you

Chorus:
A mole, digging in a hole
Digging up my soul
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation

Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...
