When I'm Up

by Great Big Sea

I am the fountain of affection

I'm the instrument of joy

And to keep the good times rolling

I'm the boy, I'm the boy

You know the world could be our oyster

You just put your trust in me

Cause we keep the good times rolling

Wait and see, wait and see

Oh wait and see! Oh oh

/ F C / Am F / - C / F G / F Am / - F / - C / F G / - Am / G F G /

There's exhultation, and there's sweet disintegration

A few discolourations, then it comes along

Up is why he chooses, the kisses and the bruises

There ain't nothing he refuses, then it comes along

It comes along, and I am lifted

I am lifted, I am lifted

/ Am G / F G / 1st / 2nd / F Am / F G /

    {refrain}

    When I'm up I can't get down

    Can't get down, can't get level

    When I'm up I can get down

    Get my feet back on the ground

    / F C / F G / 1st / 2nd /

    {refrain}

He just needs something to blind him, something to wind him up

It won't take long to find him when it comes on strong

Wise guys are grinning and the street lights are spinning

The night is just beginning when it comes on strong

It comes on strong, and I am lifted

I am lifted, I am lifted

    {refrain} x 2

[slow]

Oh it comes on strong and I am lifted

It comes on strong and I am lifted

I am lifted, I am lifted

/ F Am / / F G /

    { refrain } x 3, middle one acapella
