Verse 1:
D G/D
Your love lifted me higher
Em/D D
Than I’ve ever been lifted before
(D) G/D
So keep it up, quench my desire
Em/D D
And I’ll be at your side forever more
Chorus 1:
D
You know your love (your love keeps liftin’ me)
G/D
Keeps on liftin’ (love keeps liftin’ me)
Em/D
Higher (liftin’ me)
D
Higher and higher
(higher and higher higher)
I said your love (your love keeps liftin’ me)
Keeeep on… (love keeps liftin’ me)
Liftin’ me (liftin’ me)
Higher and higher
(higher and higher higher) Listen!
Verse 2:
Now once, I was downhearted
Disappointment was my closest friend
But you came and he soon departed
And he never showed his face again
Chorus 2:
That’s why your love
Keeps on liftin’
Higher
Higher and higher
I said your love
Keeeeps on
Liftin’
Higher and higher (all right)
Instrumental break [verse chord progression]
Verse 3:
I’m so glad I finally found you
Yes, that one in a million girls
And now with my lovin’ arms around you, honey
I can stand up and face the world
Chorus 3:
Let me tell you your love
Keeps on liftin’
Higher
Higher and higher
I-i said your love
Keeeep on
Liftin’ me
Higher and higher
Chorus 4:
Oh, now sock it to me
All right, lift me, oh, woman
Keep my life goin’ now
Higher and higher
I said, keep on liftin’
Lift me up, mama
Keep on liftin’ me
Higher and higher [fade]
