Intro
D#
[Verse 1]
D#
I fell asleep around quarter to four
I had a dream my baby didn't want me no more
G#
I was drowning in a sea of love
I was swallowed up by the water above
D#
Oh water above, oh water below
Take me away in your undertow
G#
I've been drinking from a broken cup
A#
And a long way down means a long way up
[Chorus]
G# Fm D#
Yeah a long way down, means a long way up
[Verse 2]
D#
When I came to, I was feeling high
I got a telephone call from a friend of mine
G#
Coming through so loud and clear
Yeah he was picking me up and he felt so near
D#
When I hung up and I looked around
I could hear the rain hit the cold, cold ground
G#
But there was sunshine just because
A#
and it didn't matter what the weather was
[Chorus]
G# Fm D#
Yeah a long way down, means a long way up
G# Fm
It's a long way down
[Bridge]
D#
A#
Something unreal, I won't slave for them
A# D#
I won't behave for them, I will be brave
A#
'Cuz you can laugh about it, if you just let go
[Outro]
G# Fm D#
You can laugh about it, if you just let go
