  From "Wildflowers"(1994)

  Use a capo on the 2nd fret.

  Intro: D G C G | D G C | X2

  D        G        C      G
  We gotta get to a higher place
         D     G        C*    
  And we gotta leave by night
    D         G     C        G
  Before that river takes us down
           D        G            C*
  We gotta find somewhere that's dry

  D        G              C     G
  We gotta run like we've never run,
           D     G        C
  Or we're gonna lose the light
     D        G        C      G
  If we don't get to a higher place and
  C        G            C        G
  Find somebody who can help somebody,
        C    G       Em   Asus2 | Em Asus2... |
  Might be nobody no more
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/tom_petty/a_higher_place_crd_ver_2.html ]
  Well, I fool myself and I don't know why
  I thought we could ride this out
  I was up all night making up my mind
  But now I got my doubts...

  I got my eye on the waterline
  Trying to keep my sense of humour
  But if we don't get to a higher place and
  Find somebody who can help somebody,
  Might be nobody no more...

     G                 C
     We gotta get to a higher place
           G           C
     And I hope we all arrive together
     G5                C
     We gotta get to a higher place
           G        C           G   C       
     If we wanna survive... the weather!

  Break: Verse chords X1

  I remember walking with her in town,
  Her hair was in the wind
  I gave her my best kiss
  She gave it back again

  Yeah, when I add up what I've left behind
  I don't want to lose no more.
  But if we don't get to a higher place and
  Find somebody who can help somebody,
  Might be nobody no more...

  Repeat verse sequence to end. 
  * optional Csus2 at end of 
  second and 4th lines (e.g., "the light...")
