Verse:

[D]

I've been crawling

Em

To the mountains

G                              D

Skinned my knees with blood and hope

   D

If I stayed standing

Em

I'd be drowning

G                       D

The rising waters made me choke





Pre-chorus:

G                     Bm

As I am getting nearer

      G                     Asus4---A

My mission is coming clear





Chorus:

                 D

I know this road

                      A

Never seen it before

                 Bm                          G

I know what lies behind unopened doors

              Em                           D

I saw the signs from the distant shore

            A

That I couldn't ignore...

                     G

I'm heading for higher ground





Verse:

D             Em

I left everyone behind me

G                D

I took everything I know

D                     Em

Half way up and I'm still climbing

G                D

Still a million miles to go





Pre-chorus:          

        G                   Bm

The water is drawing nearer

       G               Asus4---A

As everything disappears





Chorus:

                D

I know this road

                   A

Never seen it before

                  Bm                         G

I know what lies behind unopened doors

               Em                          D

I saw the signs from the distant shore

           A

That I couldn't ignore...

                     G

I'm heading for higher ground





Bridge:

            G

And my foot slips

         D

But I don't quit

           Bm                 A

And my hand grips the rock

                G

Something pulls deep

          D

From within me

       Bm                    A

Til I get there, I won't stop





Chorus:

                D

I know this road

                     A

Never seen it before

                  Bm                         G

I know what lies behind unopened doors

               Em                          D

I saw the signs from the distant shore

            Asus4---A

That I couldn't ignore

                D             

I know this road

                    A

Never seen it before

                  Bm                        G

I know what lies behind unopened doors

               Em                          D

I saw the signs from the distant shore

           A

That I couldn't ignore

                      G

I'm heading for higher, higher ground





Outro:

D                       Em

Way up here, the air is thin

G                      D

Feels like I could go so far
