Artist: Creed Song: Higher Tuning: Drop D (DADGBe) Tabbed By: Kevin This is a really good song, and is a pretty easy one to play. It was one of the first ones that I learned to play. You can play this song on an acoustic which is the way I first played it, or on an electric like I play it now. You need a distortion pedal if you want to be picky and play it 100% correctly, otherwise have fun, fool around and you'll get it...eventually. Legend: / (slide up the fretboard) u (strum upwards) d (strum downwards) Chords (can play them open/power chords): (open) A D G e ||------------| e ||---2--------| e ||-----3------| B ||----2-------| B ||-----3------| B ||------------| G ||----2-------| G ||---2--------| G ||------------| D ||----2-------| D ||------------| D ||------------| A ||------------| A ||------------| A ||--2---------| D ||------------| D ||------------| D ||-----3------| (power chords) A D G e ||------------| e ||------------| e ||------------| B ||------------| B ||------------| B ||------------| G ||------------| G ||-----7------| G ||-----5------| D ||-----7------| D ||-----7------| D ||-----5------| A ||-----7------| A ||-----5------| A ||-----3------| D ||-----5------| D ||------------| D ||------------| ==================================================================================== Intro: e |---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B |---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- G |-7-7-9/11-9h11/12\11-9-9-9h11p9-7-7h9p7-7/11-11-11-------------------------------- D |---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A |---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- D |---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Strum each one of the notes in the following pattern: d d d u u d d Play intro once on clean then once with distortion. ===================================================================================== Verse One: (clean) D G D G When dreaming, I'm guided to another world time and time again. D G D G At sunrise, I fight to stay asleep 'cause I don't want to leave the comfort of this place. D G D G 'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape from the life I live when I'm awake. ===================================================================================== Pre-chorus: (distortion) D G So lets go there, lets make our escape. D G Come on lets go there, lets ask can we stay. ===================================================================================== Chorus: (distortion) D A G Can you take me higher? D A G To a place where blind men see. D A G Can you take me higher? D A G To a place with golden streets. ===================================================================================== Verse Two: (Clean) D G D G Although I'd like the world to change, it helps me to appreciate those nights and those dreams. D G D G But my friend I'd sacrafice all those nights if I could make the Earth and my dreams the same. D G D G The only difference is to let love replace all our hate. ===================================================================================== Pre-chorus: (distortion) D G So lets go there, lets make our escape. D G Come on lets go there, lets ask can we stay. ===================================================================================== Chorus: (distortion) D A G Can you take me higher?

Remember that this obviously isn't my original work, but that of Mark Tremoni and Scott Stapp and the rest of Creed. Have fun playing it....
