THE LIFTING REM
G/// Dm/// (x4)
Verse 1
G Dm
Crowded. Five A.M. the
G Dm
night life's comfortin' but
G Dm
gravity is holding you
G Dm
Once settled. Into sleep
You have watched on repeat the story of your life across the
Ceiling. In review
Chorus 1
Am C Am
You said the air was singi-ng
Am C Am
Its calling you, you don't believe
C Em
These things you've never seen ( 2nd Chorus ... never heard )
( 3rd Chorus ... never heard, never dreamed)
Verse 3
Good morning. How are you
The weather's fine
The sky is blue
It's perfect for our seminar
Close your eyes and start to breathe
Allow your eyes to recede
Allow yourself to drift and fly away
And you just stay
Chorus 1
Chorus 2:
C Dm G Am
Do you hear these voices calling?
Do you hear these voices calling?
Do you hear these voices calling
Em
you?
Verse 4
Locked into the conference room
We're only what our minds assume
And rationale is leaving you
This conceived these systems
I believe your counsellor agrees
You always marked these bound'ries
Now you're free
To make believe
Chorus 1 (x2)
G Dm
Never never never never never ( x 4 )
Verse 5
Once you had a dream of oceans, sunken cities
Memories of things you've never known
You have never known
