I'm too high, I'm too high,
Bbmaj7b5 #9#5
But I ain't touched the sky.
F#maj7b5 Emaj7b5 Dmaj7b5 Cmaj7b5
I'm too high, I'm too high,
Bbmaj7b5 #9#5
But I ain't touched the sky.
She's a girl in a dream;
She sees a four eyed cartoon monster on the T.V screen.
She takes a-nother puff and says; "it's a crazy scene,
#11
That red is green, and she's a tange-rine.
F#maj7b5 Emaj7b5 Dmaj7b5 Cmaj7b5
I'm too high, I'm too high,
Bbmaj7b5 #9#5
But I ain't left the ground.
F#maj7b5 Emaj7b5 Dmaj7b5 Cmaj7b5
I'm too high, I'm too high,
Bbmaj7b5 #9#5
I hope I never, ever come down.
She's the girl in her life,
But her world's a super-ficial para-dise.
She had a chance to make it big, more than once or twice,
#11
But no dice; she wasn't very nice.

I'm too high, I'm too high,
Bbmaj7b5 #9#5
I can't ever touch the sky.
F#maj7b5 Emaj7b5 Dmaj7b5 Cmaj7b5
I'm too high, I'm too high,
Bbmaj7b5 #9#5
I feel like I'm a-bout to die.
She's a girl of the past,
I guess that I got to her at last.
A did you hear the news a-bout the girl to-day?
She passed a-way... what did her friend say?
Interlude:

They said she's...

Can't hang a-round, any-way..
