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