[Verse]
D F#m G D
I got an extra, glimpse of the truth today
D F#m G A
Staring at my breakfast, when I thought I heard it say
G F#m Em A
Fighting is no good, success an empty lie
G F#m Em A
The treasure hunt is lonely until you realise
[Chorus]
G F#m
We came to take it up,
Em
We came to take it up
A
We came to take it up
G F#m
We came to raise it up,
Em
We came to take it up
A
We came to move it up
[Verse]
D F#m G D Dsus2 D
I promise you, Miss, I will do my best today
D F#m G D
But somebody keeps tryin to make me, tryin to make me lose my way
D F#m G D Dsus2 D
But I believe, oh my darling, I believe in you
D F#m G D
And I hope when you hear this you'll remember what we were sent to do
[Chorus]
G F#m
We came to take it up,
Em
We came to take it up
A
We came to take it up
G F#m
We came to move it up,
Em
We came to raise it up
A
We came to praise it up
G F#m
I came to take you up,
Em
You came to take me up
A
We came to take us up

[Verse]
D F#m G D Dsus2 D
Speeding out of the town I thought I'd lost my way
D F#m G A
Til I saw the green and ebony come a-wonderin about their pay
D F#m G D Dsus2 D
I got the money if you still got the friends
D F#m G D A
We can really put this world to right or sit and watch the end
[Chorus]
G F#m
We’re gonna take it up,
Em
We ...
A
We came to move it up
G F#m
We’re gonna take it up,
Em
We ...
A
We came to take it up
G F#m
To the very very top,
Em
To the very very top
A [G]
To the very very very very very very top
G F#m
To the very very top,
Em
To the very very top
A
To the very very top
