Lifted Up 1985

Intro: Bb  C    Dm  F      2x
      (oh hey) (oh hey)

        Bb                         C
Tell me what does it take to make good now
Bb                       C
How many years do you wait?
             Bb                         C
Oh and now all of the clouds are combining
      Dm                         F
That flickering light's just a flame
 Bb     C
I’m so tired
      Dm            F
I’ve been awake for so many years
         Bb                        C
But I guess I’ll just wait a bit longer
     Dm                        F
I’ll stay till they open the gates

            Bb
But yeah, All my life I stayed here waiting
F               Dm    F
Every new year always making me
Bb
feel as though there’s nothing up there
F                    Dm     F
But one day you came out of nowhere


[Chorus]
Bb Dm
1985 was a good year.
F              C
The sky broke apart and you appeared,
Bb                        Dm
Fly from the heavens they called me a dreamer
F             C
I won’t lie I knew you'd belong here
Dm             Bb            (pay attention, this line is opposite the first line of the chorus)
Lifted off the ground
  F                   C
I took your hands and pulled you down
       Bb  Dm
Because 1985 was a good year.
F             C
I won’t lie I knew you'd belong here


Bb                         C
Well how many years has it been now?
Bb                    C
How many days went to waste?
         Bb                      C
Now the rain and the thunder are clashing
    Dm                         F
The suns got a smile cross the face
Bb     C
I’m so tired
  Dm                F
I fight so hard and come back beaten
        Bb                          C
But our beacon will burn through it brightly
    Dm                       F
And soar through a sliver of space


            Bb
But yeah, All my life I stayed here waiting
F               Dm    F
Every new year always making me
Bb
feel as though there’s nothing up there
F                    Dm     F
But one day you came out of nowhere


[Chorus]
Bb Dm
1985 was a good year.
F              C
The sky broke apart and you appeared,
Bb                        Dm
Fly from the heavens they called me a dreamer
F             C
I won’t lie I knew you'd belong here
Dm             Bb
Lifted off the ground
  F                   C
I took your hands and pulled you down
       Bb  Dm
Because 1985 was a good year.
F             C
I won’t lie I knew you'd belong here
