[Intro]

[Verse 1]
D
Sittin’ in the seat of my old Olds
D
Pretty city lights down far below
D
Sittin’ there soakin’ up all of the heat of the fire
D
You slide a little closer and whisper in my ear
D
Never even get around to openin’ them beers
D
Bein’ here with you girl, nothing could get me no higher

[Chorus]
D C
It’s a long way down
G
Baby, hold on to me
D
Never let me touch the ground
C
It’s a long, long way down
G D
Yeah, I’m scared I’m gonna fall without your lovin’ arms around

[Verse 2]
D
Well, love for you is such a natural thing
C
You were born to spread those angel wings
G D
Every time you touch me, swear I feel light as a feather
D
But it seems like every other corner I turn
C
There’s another busted heart that’s crashed and burned
G D
Baby, just remember every time you take me to heaven

[Chorus]
D C
It’s a long way down
G
Baby, hold on to me
D
Never let me touch the ground
C
It’s a long, long way down
G D
Yeah, I’m scared I’m gonna fall without your lovin’ arms around

[Verse 3]
D
Tell me once again how high we’re gonna go
D
Take me far away from the world below
G D
We could be the few that make it all the way together
D
‘Cause I could start this car and drive back into town
C
Land us both safe on solid ground
G D
But after tonight, girl, you’re gonna have to love me forever

[Chorus]
D C
It’s a long way down
G
Baby, hold on to me
D
Never let me touch the ground
C
It’s a long, long way down
G D
Yeah, I’m scared I’m gonna fall without your lovin’ arms around

It’s a long way, long way down

G
Won’t you take me higher
D
Won’t you take me, take me, take me higher, oh
