Verse 1
(D major) Don't you see, my friend,
(A major) that when things can't
get (D major) any worse,
there's only one thing they can get.
(A major) You (D major) are down on (A major) the wheel of fortune,
(B minor) you are now at an all -time low,
(G major) burning up till you feel you're scorching
(E minor) from your head to your (Asus4) little toe.
(D major) You are lost in the darkest jungle,
(B minor) how, you wonder, will this all pass?
(G major) Everything in your life you bungle,
(E minor) no way out of this (A major) deep morass.
(B flat major) Don't give up, there is one solution,
though you're troubled and all abuzz.
Back away from your evolution
Look at this like (A major) a monkey does
(D major) Nowhere to go but up
Try (G major) to see life from a (A major) monkey's
perspective
Nowhere (D major) to go but (B minor) up
When (G major) you're low down
you can't be too select (A major) ive
Stay (B flat major) ing down is just too depressing
Take the other al (C major) ternative
A (D major) smart creature (A major) hangs with mon
(G major) keys and (A major) or angs
There's (D major) nowhere to (G major) go (D major) (A major) but (D major) up.
(Bsus4) You (E major) are not on the road to ruin.
(C sharp minor) You are not on the verge of death.
(B major) Pay attention to (A major) what you're doing.
Take a moment and (Bsus4) take a breath.
(E major) The story is far from finished.
(C sharp minor) You have lived for another hour.
(B major) You may well be a (A major) bit diminished,
but you haven't lost climbing power.
(C major) Just imagine a new direction.
Just imagine a different route.
Change the course with a
small correction.
Watch me do it and (Bsus4) follow suit.
Nowhere (E major) to go but up,
that's the way of it
Look (A major) at the world from a
(A flat minor) simian view (B major) point
Nowhere (E major) to go but up (C sharp minor) ,
come on up with me
Up (A major) towards those clouds,
that's the place (A flat minor) I'd (B major) say you point
Any (C major) ape would agree
that you'd be better off
with more altitude
Don't (E major) think like a (B major) donkey,
take it (A major) from a (Bsus4) monkey
(B major) There's (E major) nowhere (A major) to (B major) go but
(E major) up (A minor) (C major) (A minor) (A major)
Flying, flying, flying (E major) (A minor)
Even if you die, all is not lost
You come back as a higher creature
You have lost (E major) everything
you cared for
(C sharp minor) You have lost everything you know
This (A major) isn't what you prepared for
(F sharp minor) This is not where you (Bsus4) want to go
You (E major) think that your life's in tatters
All (C sharp minor) you see is the state you're in
How (A major) it ends will be all that matters
How (F sharp minor) it ends will be (Bsus4) what it's been
Nev (C major) er mind if you're at round zero
Don't give up for one awful day
You could turn out to be the hero
Think about it, you know (Bsus4) the (B major) way
(E major) Nowhere to go but up
That is right, my boy
Move (A major) the whole show to a
(G sharp minor) higher (B major) position
Nowhere (E major) to go but up (C sharp minor)
That's the way, my boy
(A major) Up near the light
will improve (B major) your condition
Nowhere (F sharp major) to go but up
Come along with me,
(B major) clap with both hands
and swing (C sharpsus4) on the lianas.
(C sharp major) (F sharp major) Nowhere to go but up (D sharp minor)
in the highest tree.
(B major) That is the place where you'll
(C sharpsus4) find your (F sharp major) bana (C sharp major) nas.
(D major) Anytime when you're beaten down,
you (E major) never want to be on the ground.
Go (F sharp major) find bet (B major) ter place (C sharp major) ment,
get out (B major) of the (C sharpsus4) basement.
But there's (F sharp major) nowhere (B major) to go (F sharp major) but (C sharpsus4) up
Outro 1
