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

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

D               F#m          G            D     Dsus 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     Dsus 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

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     Dsus 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        Dsus D
 I got the money if you still got the friends
D              F#m               G                D               A

We came to take it up

 To the very very top,
