Intro: D 

D 
I fell asleep around quarter to four 

I had a dream my baby didn't want me no more 
      G 
I was drowning in a sea of love 

I was swallowed up by the water above 
    D 
Oh water above, oh water below 

Take me away in your undertow 
          G 
I've been drinking from a broken cup 
       A 
And a long way down means a long way up 

      G             Em        D 
Yeah a long way down, means a long way up 

D 
When I came to, I was feeling high 

I got a telephone call from a friend of mine 
       G 
Coming through so loud and clear 

Yeah he was picking me up and he felt so near 
     D 
When I hung up and I looked around 

I could hear the rain hit the cold, cold ground 
               G 
But there was sunshine just because 
        A 
and it didn't matter what the weather was 

       G            Em        D 
Yeah a long way down, means a long way up 
       G            Em 
It's a long way down

A 
Something unreal, I won't slave for them 
A                                D 
I won't behave for them, I will be brave 
A 
'Cuz you can laugh about it, if you just let go 

         G            Em       D 
You can laugh about it, if you just let go
