Chorus 1:
[F#maj7b5] [Emaj7b5] [Dmaj7b5] [Cmaj7b5]
I'm too high, I'm too high,
[Bbmaj7b5] E7#9#5 [Am9]
But I ain't touched the sky.
[F#maj7b5] [Emaj7b5] [Dmaj7b5] [Cmaj7b5]
I'm too high, I'm too high,
[Bbmaj7b5] 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 TV screen.
[C#m7] [F#m7] [D/E]
She takes a-nother puff and says; "it's a crazy scene,
[Bbmaj7/C] [Eb9#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,
[Bbmaj7b5] E7#9#5 [Am9]
But I ain't left the ground.
[F#maj7b5] [Emaj7b5] [Dmaj7b5] [Cmaj7b5]
I'm too high, I'm too high,
[Bbmaj7b5] 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]
She had a chance to make it big, more than once or twice,
[Bbmaj7/C] [Eb9#11]
But no dice; she wasn't very nice.

Doo-doo doo doo doo doo-doo,

[F#maj7b5] [Emaj7b5] [Dmaj7b5] [Cmaj7b5]
I'm too high, I'm too high,
[Bbmaj7b5] E7#9#5 [Am9]
I can't ever touch the sky.
[F#maj7b5] [Emaj7b5] [Dmaj7b5] [Cmaj7b5]
I'm too high, I'm too high,
[Bbmaj7b5] E7#9#5 [Am9]
I feel like I'm a-bout to die.
Verse 3:
[Am9]
She's a girl of the past,
[C#m7] [F#m7] [D/E] [Am9]
I guess that I got to her at last.
[C#m7] [F#m7] [D/E] [Am9]
A did you hear the news a-bout the girl to-day?
[Bbmaj7/C] [Eb9]
She passed a-way... what did her friend say?

I'm too high, I'm too high,
[Bbmaj7b5] E7#9#5 [Amaj7b5] E7#9#5 [Eb9b5] [D9]
Can't hang a-round, any-way..
