Intro:
D MajorD

D MajorD
Life's been so unsatisfying
Dmaj7Dmaj7
Look, suddenly, now I'm flying
B minorBm                 G+G
Freewheeling from cloud to cloud to cloud

D MajorD
Wings spread and the sky below me
Dmaj7Dmaj7
There's no one to stop or slow me
B minorBm               G+G
Pure freedom and everything's allowed

   E minorEm
Down there
 Edim7Edim7                Dsus2Dsus2
I know there's tons of burdens I must bear
D7/F#D7/F#
Somewhere


      E minorEm  G+G
But from up here
  A augmentedA       A/GA/G
The world looks so small
  F# minorF#m          B minorBm
And suddenly life seems so clear

      E minorEm  G+G
And from up here
A augmentedA
You coast past it all
  F# minorF#m         BB
The obstacles just disappear

G+G          D/F#D/F#
Never feel heavy or earthbound
  Bb majorBb           D MajorD
No worries or doubts interfere
    E minorEm     D/F#D/F#
There's nothing but you
    G+G      A augmentedA      D MajorD
Looking down on the view from up here

Interlude:
D MajorD  G+G  A augmentedA

D MajorD
Stretch out with the wind behind you (Here we go)
Dmaj7Dmaj7
Float up, let the current find you (Look out below)
B minorBm                  G+G
Keep climbing and sail from breeze to breeze (Stay close, don't leave me, please!)

D MajorD
Head up to the stratospheres
Dmaj7Dmaj7
With only the stars to steer us
B minorBm             G+G
Just think of the possibilities (I think I've got it!)


 E minorEm
Below
  Edim7Edim7                 Dsus2Dsus2
We spend our whole lives trudging to and fro

Now-

D7/F#D7/F#
Woah!


      E minorEm  G+G
And from up here
  A augmentedA       A/GA/G
The world looks so wide
  F# minorF#m         B minorBm
Yet every horizon seems near

      E minorEm  G+G
And from up here
  A augmentedA
No path is denied
  F# minorF#m            BB
You choose which direction you veer


  G+G            D/F#D/F#
And suddenly you can breathe easy
  Bb majorBb
Contented

Carefree
  D MajorD
Cavalier

   E minorEm     D/F#D/F#
Just gliding on through
    G+G      A augmentedA      D MajorD
Looking down on the view from up here


Interlude:
Bb majorBb

      F minorFm   AbAb
And from up here
  Bb majorBb
The world is all yours
   G minorGm           C minorCm
Each mountain and meadow and mere

      F minorFm   AbAb
And from up here
    Bb majorBb
Life's duties and chores
  G minorGm           C majorC
Are barely worth shedding a tear

  AbAb          Eb MajorEb
And all of the sky lies before us
     BB          Eb MajorEb
Straight up to the far stratosphere
  F minorFm      Eb MajorEb       AbAb     Bb majorBb      AbAb
So head for the blue and let's take in the view from up here

   AbAb           Bb majorBb            Eb MajorEb
It's just me and you looking down on the view from up here
