              C    F
Never been so lost

              C    F
Didn't have a home

          Am              G                 F                      C    F
Though it tried, my heart could not pay the cost for a life on its own

             C     F
I hadn't hit bottom

                  C      F
Baby, I was still falling

     Am         G          F                      C       F    C    F
Till I saw the sun on your face, I heard my higher calling
[Verse 2]
               C     F
Considered the lilies

              C       F
The spiritual torments

  Am          G              F                    C     F
I looked into crystal balls, up into the infinite orbits

              C    F
Barefoot over coals

           C       F
Deserts by crawling

    Am          G            F                      C       F    C    F
But all that it took was one look, I heard my higher calling
[Chorus]
       Am     C
I give all my hours

       F      C
I give all my days

       F            C            G
I give everything I have to your wild ways

       F      C
I give all my nights

       F      C
I give all my days

       Am           C            G    F
I give everything I have to your wild ways

                C      F
I hear a higher calling

                C      F
I hear a higher calling

                C      F
I hear a higher calling

                C      F
I hear a higher calling
[Post-Chorus]
C                F
 I hear a higher, higher and higher

C                F
 I hear a higher, higher and higher

C                F
 I hear a higher, higher and higher

C                F
 I hear a higher, higher and higher
[Verse 2]
            C                        F
A poet once told me (I hear a higher, higher and higher)

                    C                      F
I was a drop in the ocean (I hear a higher, higher and higher)

    Am       G         F                    C                       F
But also the ocean was me, there was no separation (I hear a higher, higher and higher)

                   C                     F
You're part of me, baby (I hear a higher, higher and higher)

              C                         F
C'mon, honey, climb in (I hear a higher, higher and higher)

     Am      G              F                    C                        F
Look into my eyes, see your mirror and my higher calling (I hear a higher, higher and higher)
[Chorus]
       Am     C
I give all my hours

       F      C
I give all my days

       F            C            G
I give everything I have to your wild ways

       F      C
I give all my nights

       F      C
I give all my days

       Am           C            G    F
I give everything I have to your wild ways

                C      F
I hear a higher calling

                C      F
I hear a higher calling

                C      F     C     F     C
I hear a higher calling
