F#m
Love love love love love.
Love love love love love.

F#m
I got to stand up and take a step
You and I have been asleep for hours
           D
I got to stand up
     A/C#             A                B
The wire is stretched in between our two towers
F#m
Stand up in this dizzy world
Where a lovesick eye can steal the view
           D    A/C#             A   E/G#
I'm gonna fall down if I can't stand up
         F#m
For your love
Love love love love love...

Stand up, this is comedy
The DNA lotto may have left you smart
But can I stand up to beauty, dictator of the heart
I can stand up for hope, faith, love
But while I'm getting over certainty
Stop helping God across the road like a little old lady

Chorus:
A      B      C#m   A      B     C#m
Uuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhh. Uuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh.
A               B    C#m
Out from under your beds
B
C'mon ye people
A#        A        F#m
Stand up for your love
Love love love love love...

I gotta stand up to ego, but my ego's not really the enemy
It's like a small child crossing an eight-lane highway
On a voyage of discovery
Stand up to rock stars, Napoleon is in high heels
Josephine, be careful of small men with big ideas

Chorus

B       A        G#m        G                 F#m
God is love and love is evolution's very best day

 A            B      C#m
Soul rockin' people moving on
 A            B     C#m
Soul rockin' people on and on
B
C'mon ye people
       A#       A
We're made of stars
B
C'mon ye people
 A#            A                 F#m
Stand up then sit down for your love
Love love love love love.
Love love love love love.
Love love love love love.
