Chorus 1:
F#maj7b5 Emaj7b5 Dmaj7b5 Cmaj7b5
I'm too high, I'm too high,
A#maj7b5 E7#9#5 Am9
But I ain't touched the sky.
F#maj7b5 Emaj7b5 Dmaj7b5 Cmaj7b5
I'm too high, I'm too high,
A#maj7b5 E7#9#5 Am9
But I ain't touched the sky.
Verse 1:
Am9
She's a girl in a dream;
C#m7 F#m7 D/E Am9
She sees a four eyed cartoon monster on the T.V screen.
C#m7 F#m7 D/E Am9
She takes a-nother puff and says; "it's a crazy scene,
A#maj7/C D#9#11
That red is green, and she's a tange-rine.
Chorus 2:
F#maj7b5 Emaj7b5 Dmaj7b5 Cmaj7b5
I'm too high, I'm too high,
A#maj7b5 E7#9#5 Am9
But I ain't left the ground.
F#maj7b5 Emaj7b5 Dmaj7b5 Cmaj7b5
I'm too high, I'm too high,
A#maj7b5 E7#9#5 Am9
I hope I never, ever come down.
Verse 2:
Am9
She's the girl in her life,
C#m7 F#m7 D/E Am9
But her world's a super-ficial para-dise.
C#m7 F#m7 D/E Am9
She had a chance to make it big, more than once or twice,
A#maj7/C D#9#11
But no dice; she wasn't very nice.
