[Verse]
  F
I work on the front line
                    C
I work to survive
  F
I sleep in a fever
                     C
So this is my life
  Bb
I cry in my sleep (Cry boy, Cry boy)
                                     F
Just makes me weep when I try, how I try
  Ab                                   F
I know what it means to work hard on machines
       F
It's a labour of love so please don't ask me why

[Verse]

F
Working for reasons (Day in, Day out)
                                 C
Trying too hard (He's trying too hard)
F
Moving in circles (Too hot, Too hot)
                                   C
Don't get very far (Don't get very far)
         Bb
Should I ask you to dance (Dance Boy, Dance Boy)
                                             F
If I promised romance would you come for the ride
  Ab                                     F
I know what it means to work hard on machines
         F
Will you believe in love, one that lasts for all time

[Chorus]

            Bb     F/A
You take me up, oh-oh!
            Gm7                F
You take me up to the higher ground
            Bb       F/A
You take me up,  so high
       Gm7          Eb        F
Now I never want to come back down

[Verse]

    F
I'm glad in these hard times (Day in, Day out)
                                       C
There's hope in your eyes (Hope in his eyes)
        F
I don't need a religion (Too hot, Too hot)
                                      C
Cos' this love never dies (Love never dies)

    Bb
I believe in today (Believe boy, Believe boy)
                                              F
It's better that way and you work through the night
      Ab                                    F
An' I know what it means to work hard on machines
       F
It's a labour of love so please don't ask me why

[Chorus]

You take me up, oh - oh!
            Gm7              F
You take me up to the higher ground
