|C           F  |

Verse 1:
C            F           |C
This road is anything but simple
F             |C
Twisted like a riddle
     Am                |G       |
I've seen high and I've seen low
C            F            |C
So loud, the voices of all my doubts
    F            |C
are telling me to give up
   Am         |G          |
To pack up and leave town
                                        Bass change on x:
Pre-chorus:                             |1 - 2 - 3 - 4 -|
F             C     |G       G/E|    => |              x|
But even so I had to believe
F                C         |G      |
Impossible means nothing to me

Chorus:
          |F    G  C  (C)
So can you lift me up?
            |F          G
And turn the ashes into flames
             |F G C (C)         |F               G
'Cause I have overcome more than words will ever say
             |F  G  Am (Am)
And I've been given hope
              |F               G
That there's a light on up the hall
          |Em                     C
And that a day will come when the fight is won
     |F                  G
And I think that day has just begun
|C  C/E  C/F  C/G | F   |

Verse 2:
C          F        |C
Somewhere, everybody starts there
F            |C
Counting on a small prayer
Am       |G
Lost in a nightmare
|C               F            |C
But I'm here and suddenly it's so clear
    F                   |C
The struggle through the long years
   Am          |G                 G/E
It taught me to outrun my fears

Pre-chorus:
|F                    C    |G       G/E
And everything that's worth having
|F                C         |G          |
Comes with trials worth withstanding

[CHORUS]

Bridge:
|F         C             |Am             G
Oh lift me up, oh lift me up, oh lift me up
|F         C             |Am             G
Oh lift me up, oh lift me up, oh lift me up
|F       C     |Am   G
Down and out is overrated
|F     C    |Am  G
I need to be elevated
|F      C    |Am    G
Looking up is not enough
|F       C    |Am    G
I would rather rise above
