[Intro]
E E A E E A Higher
[Verse 1]
E A I'm a king, yes, I'm a head of state. E A E But I'm the kitchen boy who'll wash your dirty plate. E A I had no message and the message was, E A We're all Jesus, Buddha, and the Wizard of Oz.
[Chorus]
G# D# I'm merely a man, A# D# And I bring nothing but love for you. G# D# I'm merely a man, A# G# And I want nothing that you can't do. B And you know it's true. B7 E A That with logic and love we'll be lifting humanity higher. E A Higher.
[Verse 2]
E A I'm all religious figures rolled into one, E A E Gaddafy Duck propelled from Jimmy Swaggart's tommy gun. E A Don't promise rainbows with some golden pot, E A In fact what I can offer I know you've already got.
[Chorus]
G# D# I'm merely a man, A# D# And I bring nothing but love for you. G# D# I'm merely a man, A# G# And I want nothing that you can't do. B7 And you know it's true. B That with logic and love we'll have power enough G# D# To raise consciousness up and for lifting humanity higher. A# D# G# D# A# G# Higher! B7 And you know it's true. B We should chase superstition and fear from our hearts, E A If we're going to survive and take levels of sanity higher. E A Kick it up... Higher. G# D# I'm merely a man, A# D# And I bring nothing but love for you. G# D# I'm merely a man, A# G# And I want nothing that you can't do. G# D# I'm merely a man, A# D# And I bring nothing but love for you. G# D# I'm merely a man, A# G# And I want nothing that you can't do. B7 And you know it's true. B That with logic and love we'll have power enough, B To raise consciousness up and for lifting humanity higher.
