            Sailin' away on the crest of a wave - it's like magic
            G#                                                                     Fm
            Rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and slidin' - it's magic

                                  Em                                      Dm

                           You took me  -  oh, higher and higher, baby

                                            It's a livin' thing

                                            It's a terrible thing to lose
                                            It's a given thing
                                            What a terrible thing to lose

                                                           C                    A#m   C      A#m   G
                                                               I'm takin' a dive... dive...
                                                                                                            C add2 G

            Making believe this is what you've conceived from your worst day
            Moving in line when you look back in time to your first day

                           And you~ou, and your sweet desire
                           You took me - oh, higher and higher, baby

                                            It's a livin' thing
                                            It's a terrible thing to lose
                                            It's a given thing
                                            What a terrible thing to lose

                                                               I'm takin' a dive on the slide, hey
                                                                                                            C add2 G

            Takin' a dive cause you can't halt the slide floating downstream
            Ah, so let her go don't start spoiling the show - it's a bad dream

                           And you~ou, and your sweet desire
                           You took me - oh, higher and higher, baby

                                            It's a livin' thing
                                            It's a terrible thing to lose
                                            It's a given thing
                                            What a terrible thing to lose

                                            It's a livin' thing
                                            It's a terrible thing to lose
                                            It's a given thing
                                            What a terrible thing to lose...
