[Intro] 
Am C Bb G
[Verse 1]
It's been a Amlong, long fall with nothing to iCntervene
When gravity doeBbs its thing we start wondering what it's forG  
Stuck in a coldAm, dark basement you're surely exCpecting more
But all you can seBbe these days is four walls and a floorG  
[Chorus]
ACome up here
We're making our way to the upEmside
We're gonna stay on the upGside
We'll trade our troubles for a Droom with a view
ACome up here
We're making our way to the upEmside
A brand new day on the upGside
The future's brighter than a Dsky full of blue
[Verse 2]
It's been a Amlong, long fall, the Adam who would Cbe King
When consequence doeBbs its thing we all want it like beforeG  
Nowhere to goAm, laid low like a dumpster diver
Like a Csubmarine wreck scraping the bottom deck
BbWon't you, don't you pray there's something Gmore?
[Chorus]
ACome up here
We're making our way to the upEmside
We're gonna stay on the upGside
We'll trade our troubles for a Droom with a view
ACome up here
We're making our way to the upEmside
A brand new day on the upGside
The future's brighter than a Dsky full of blue
[Bridge]
EmWhat's gonna hold us down?D  
Who's gonna hold us down?Em  
How's it gonna hold us down?D  
Nothing's gonna hold usA  
[Chorus]
Come up
We'll make our way to the upEmside
We're here to stay on the upGside
The future's shining like a Dsky full of blue
ACome up here
We're making our way to the upEmside
We're gonna stay on the upGside
We'll trade our troubles for a Droom with a view
ACome up here
We're making our way to the upEmside
A brand new day on the upGside
The future's brighter than a Dsky full of blue
ACome up here
We're making our way to the upEmside
We're gonna stay on the upGside
The future's brighter than a Dsky full of blue

[Intro]

Am C Bb G

[Verse 1]

Am C

It's been a long, long fall with nothing to intervene

Bb G

When gravity does its thing we start wondering what it's for

Am C

Stuck in a cold, dark basement you're surely expecting more

Bb G

But all you can see these days is four walls and a floor

[Chorus]

Come up here

We're making our way to the upside

We're gonna stay on the upside

We'll trade our troubles for a room with a view

Come up here

We're making our way to the upside

A brand new day on the upside

The future's brighter than a sky full of blue

[Verse 2]

Am C

It's been a long, long fall, the Adam who would be King

Bb G

When consequence does its thing we all want it like before

Nowhere to go, laid low like a dumpster diver

Like a submarine wreck scraping the bottom deck

Bb G

Won't you, don't you pray there's something more?

[Chorus]

Come up here

We're making our way to the upside

We're gonna stay on the upside

We'll trade our troubles for a room with a view

Come up here

We're making our way to the upside

A brand new day on the upside

The future's brighter than a sky full of blue

[Bridge]

Em D

What's gonna hold us down?

Who's gonna hold us down?

How's it gonna hold us down?

Nothing's gonna hold us

[Chorus]

Come up

We'll make our way to the upside

We're here to stay on the upside

The future's shining like a sky full of blue

Come up here

We're making our way to the upside

We're gonna stay on the upside

We'll trade our troubles for a room with a view

Come up here

We're making our way to the upside

A brand new day on the upside

The future's brighter than a sky full of blue

Come up here

We're making our way to the upside

We're gonna stay on the upside

The future's brighter than a sky full of blue
