        << Back to Steve Winwood Song List
Version 1 Version 2
            Capo on three - song is played by an electric piano but sounds alright on acoustic. 
The verse goes a bit weird for part of it, but it's mostly fairly simple.
This is the single version - it's synced with the music video version, not the version found on the album
Found this again after the phoenix that is Hannah Kirby did it on The Voice recently - she's amazing!
Parts in brackets are backing vocals
Introduction - no chords just percussion
[Verse]
            G   D            C          D    
Think about it, there must be higher love
C          G                   Em           D
Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above
     G      D           C          D  
With-out it, life is a wasted time
 C          G               D           A    
Look inside your heart, I'll look inside mine
A                    Bm7         
Things look so bad everywhere
A                     F#m      G    
In this whole world, what is fair?
A                     G     D      
We walk blind and we try to see
A                        F#m    Bm7   
Falling behind in what could be
[Chorus]
G           D          A     Bm7          
Bring me a higher love
G           D          A     Bm7 
Bring me a higher love, whoa
G           D          A     Bm7 
Bring me a higher love, what's that
G        D          Bm7       A
Higher love I keep thinking of?
[Verse]
             G   D           C         D
Worlds are turning, and we're just hanging on
C            G              Em           D
Facing our fear and standing out there alone
   G      D           C     D
A yearning, and it's real to me
  C          G                D       A 
There must be someone who's feeling for me
A                    Bm7         
Things look so bad everywhere
A                     F#m      G    
In this whole world, what is fair?
A                     G     D      
We walk blind and we try to see
A                        F#m    Bm7   
Falling behind in what could be
[Chorus]
G           D          A     Bm7          
Bring me a higher love
G           D          A     Bm7 
Bring me a higher love, whoa
G           D          A     Bm7 
Bring me a higher love, I could
G        D          Bm7       A
Rise above, on that higher love.
[Bridge]
 G  A    Bm7    A  G
I will wait for it           
 G  A    Bm7    A  G
I'm not too late for it
 G  A    Bm7    A       
Until  then, I'll sing my song,
 G  A    Bm7    A  G
To cheer the night a-long
Bring it 
Musical interlude (only Bm7 - messes around with percussion)
Bm7   
A                                    Bm7
I could light the night up with my soul on fire
A                              G             
I could make the sun shine from pure desire
G     Bm7        C             G   
Let me feel that love come over me
Bm     G       D               A     
Let me feel how strong it could be
Oh
Chorus (only backing)
D            A                      
(Bring me a higher love)
D            A              Bm7             
(Bring me a higher love, oh) Bring me,
D            A           
(Bring me a higher love) Oh, 
D            A            Bm7            
(Bring me a higher love) Oh, bring me a higher
[Chorus]
G           D          A     Bm7          
(Bring me a higher love)  Said bring me
G           D          A     Bm7 
(Bring me a higher love, oh) Whoa, I said baby
G           D          A     Bm7 
(Bring me a higher love), I could
G        D          Bm7       A
(Bring me a higher love)
Think this is mostly right - it's a great song!
