Song: When I'm Up (I Can't Get Down)
By:   Great Big Sea

[intro:]  C

[verse:1]
           F              C
I am the fountain of affection
           Am          F
I'm the instrument of joy
   F                       C
To keep the good time rolling,
         F            G
I'm the boy, I'm the boy
                 F                  C
You know the world could be our oyster
       Am                F
If you put your trust in me
       F                      C              F             G
We'll keep the good times rolling wait and see, wait and see
        Am                    Am    G   F   G  Am
Wait and see

[verse:2]
                      G
There's exaltations, sweet disintegrations
    F                                      G
A few discolorations then it comes along
Am                        G
Up is why he chooses, the kisses and the bruises
            F                                        G
There ain't nothing he refuses then it comes along
          F                   Am
It comes a long and I am lifted 
             F            G
Oh and I am lifted, I am lifted

[chorus:]
 F                        C
When I'm up I can't get down 
          F               G
Can't get down can't get level
 F                       C
When I'm Up I can't get down
      F                   G
Get my feet back on the ground
 F                        C
When I'm up I can't get down 
          F               G
Can't get down can't get level
 F                       C
When I'm Up I can't get down
      F                   G
Get my feet back on the ground  

[verse:3]

                Am                                G
He just needs something to bind him, something to wind him up
         F                                                   G
It won't take long to find him, when it comes on strong
      Am                         G
Black skies a grinning, and the street lights are spinning

      F                                                G
The night is just beginning, when it comes on strong
          F                   Am
It comes on strong, and I am lifted
      F            G
I am lifted, I am lifted

[chorus:]   {repeat}


Am    G   F   G  Am 
Am    G   F   G  Am

                F                Am
Oh it comes on strong, and I am lifted.
             F                Am
It comes on strong, and I am lifted.
      F            G
I am lifted, I am lifted!

[chorus:]   {repeat}

Am    G   F   G  Am 
Am    G   F   G  Am 

Oh I can't get down,
Oh Oh Ohhhhhhhh

I can't get down
