Chorus 1:
F#maj7b5 Emaj7b5
I'm too high,
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
She sees a four eyed,
F#m7 D/E Am9
Cartoon monster on the T.V screen,
C#m7 F#m7
She takes a-nother puff and says;
D/E Am9
"It's a crazy scene",
Bbmaj7/C
That red is green,
Eb9#11
And she's a tange-rine.
Chorus 2:
F#maj7b5 Emaj7b5
I'm too high,
Dmaj7b5 Cmaj7b5
I'm too high,
Bbmaj7b5 E7#9#5 Am9

F#maj7b5 Emaj7b5
I'm too high,
Dmaj7b5 Cmaj7b5
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
But her world's a,
F#m7 D/E Am9
Super-ficial para-dise.
C#m7 F#m7
She had a chance to make it big,
D/E Am9
More than once or twice,
Bbmaj7/C
But no dice;
Eb9#11
She wasn't very nice.

She's a girl of the past,
