When I'm up
Great Big Sea (Key of C)

(C)I am the (F)fountain of a(C)ffection 
I'm the (Am)instrument of (F)joy 
And to keep the good times (C)rolling 
I'm the (F)boy, I'm the (G)boy, 
You know the (F)world could be our (Am)oyster, 
You just put your trust in (F)me 
Cause we keep the good times (C)rolling 
Wait and (F)see, wait and (G)see... ah wait and (Am) see!  (G) oh-oh (F  G) 

(Am)There's exultation, and there's (G)sweet disintegration 
A (F)few discolourations, then it comes a(G)long 
(Am)Up is why he chooses, the (G)kisses and the bruises 
There ain't (F)nothing he refuses, then it comes a(G)long 
It comes a(F)long, and I am (Am)lifted, oh and I am (F)lifted, I am (G)lifted 

(Chorus) 
When I'm (F)up I can't get (C)down, can't get (F)down, can't get (G)level 
When I'm (F)up I can't get (C)down 
Get my (F)feet back on the (G)ground  (2x) 

He just needs (Am)something to blind him, (G)something to wind him up 
It (F)won't take long to find him, when it comes on (G)strong 
(Am)Wise guys are grinning and the (G)street lights are spinning 
The (F)night is just beginning, when it comes on (G)strong 
It comes on (F)strong, and I am (Am)lifted, oh and I am (F)lifted, I am (G)lifted! 

(Chorus 2x)

Oh, it comes on (F)strong and I am (Am)lifted 
Oh, it comes on (F)strong and I am (Am)lifted
I am (F)lifted, I am (G)lifted! 

(Chorus 3x) 

(Am  G  F  G  2x)
