Chords

I highly recommend picking out variations in octaves of some chords to better fit the ups and downs of the song. It took me a lot of trial and error to figure out which ones in what sequence matched the original song best. [Intro]
F                C
[tab]                              F       Bb Dm7         C
been looking at the mountains high up,       high up

                                      Bb Dm7
been looking at the mountains high up

            C
(looking at the mountains)

                                      F
been looking at the mountains high up

F
high up, high up
[Verse 1]
                                Gm
behind your back a cold surprise

                             C
in favor of the third degree

                               F
i took a breath & took a knife

                                Bb
no i won’t defend the killer in me

                               Gm
& i wanted to but couldn’t die

                                 C
i know you know what that’s been like

                                    F
never backed down only fell down in blinding light

                       Bb             Gm
you pinned me into evening’s glow, no
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm
didn’t count on you

                        C
but you counted all day
you’re breaking every rule
                     F
i’m breaking down on every corner

                  Bb
no, healing isn’t easy
[Chorus]
                                   Gm     Am Bb
but when you look at me i’m lifted high up

               Dm          F
higher than my rain clouds

C              D                Gm      Am Bb
sitting on the mountain now i’m high up

      C#m   Dm        C
never wanna come down

F                D
when you look at me i’m lifted

Gm
blue skies are all i see when

              C                Gm      Am Bb
your eyes are locked on me i’m high up

      C#m   Dm        C F
never wanna come down

F

F [Verse 2]
F                             Gm
so when i met my darkest hour

                                C
a traitor to the bleeding night

                            F
you saw me cowered in the corner

                             Bb
& offered me a second chance

                  G            Gm7
now every night i wrestle Love

                                  C
didn’t know that it can hurt this much

                             F
i count to 3 & take the jump

                                Bb
but never really hit the ground
[Chorus]
Bb                                 Gm
but when you look at me i’m lifted high up

               C
higher than my rain clouds

                                F
sitting on the mountain now i’m high up

            Bb
never wanna come down

Bb
when you look at me i’m lifted

Gm
blue skies are all i see when

              C                Gm      Am Bb
your eyes are locked on me i’m high up
