The View From Up Here
Mandy Moore
These are my best guesses for what some of the chords are based on the recording. Dmaj7: x54222 Edim7: x12020 D7/F#: 234232 A/G : 302220 The strumming pattern throughout the song is a difficult to determine but the pattern here gives the emphasized beats. [Intro] Life’s been so unsatisfying Look suddenly now I’m flying Freewheeling from cloud to cloud to cloud Wings spread and the sky below me There’s no one to stop or slow me Pure freedom and everything’s allowed Down there Edim7 Dsus2 I know there’s tons of burdens I must bear Somewhere But from up here The world looks so small And suddenly life seems so clear And from up here You coast past it all The obstacles just disappear Never feel heavy or earthbound No worries or doubts interfere There’s nothing but you Looking down on the view from up here [Interlude] Stretch out with the wind behind you (Here we go) Float up let the current find you (Look out below) Keep climbing and sail from breeze to breeze (Stay close don’t leave me please!) Head up to the stratospheres With only the stars to steer us Just think of the possibilities (I think I’ve got it!) Below Edim7 Dsus2 We spend our whole lives trudging to and fro Now- Woah! And from up here The world looks so wide Yet every horizon seems near And from up here No path is denied You choose which direction you veer And suddenly you can breathe easy Contented Carefree Cavalier Just gliding on through Looking down on the view from up here [Interlude] And from up here The world is all yours Each mountain and meadow and mere And from up here Life’s duties and chores Are barely worth shedding a tear And all of the sky lies before us Straight up to the far stratosphere So head for the blue and let’s take in the view from up here It’s just me and you looking down on the view from up here
