Intro:

[Am9] Dodo do do do dodo,

[Am] Dodo do do do dodo,
[Ab/Am] Do do dodo do dodo,
[G/Am] Do-do [F#/Am]do-do [F/Am]do [E/Am]do.

Chorus 1:

I'm [F#maj7b5]too [Emaj7b5]high,
I'm [Dmaj7b5]too [Cmaj7b5]high,
[Bbmaj7b5] But I ain't [E7#9#5]touched the [Am9]sky.

I'm [F#maj7b5]too [Emaj7b5]high,
I'm [Dmaj7b5]too h[Cmaj7b5]igh,
[Bbmaj7b5] But I ain't [E7#9#5]touched the [Am9]sky.

Verse 1:

[Am9] She's a girl in a dream,
She sees a [C#m7]four eyed,
Cartoon [F#m7]monster on the T.V [D/E]screen,[Am9]
She takes a-[C#m7]nother puff and [F#m7]says;
"It's a [D/E]crazy [Am9]scene",
That red is [Bbmaj7/C]green,
And she's a tange-[Eb9#11]rine.

Chorus 2:

I'm [F#maj7b5]too [Emaj7b5]high,
I'm [Dmaj7b5]too [Cmaj7b5]high,
[Bbmaj7b5] But I ain't [E7#9#5]left the [Am9]ground.

I'm [F#maj7b5]too [Emaj7b5]high,
I'm [Dmaj7b5]too [Cmaj7b5]high,
[Bbmaj7b5] I hope I never, [E7#9#5]ever come [Am9]down.

Verse 2:

[Am9] She's the girl in her life,
But her [C#m7]world's a,
Super-[F#m7]ficial [D/E]para-[Am9]dise.
She had a [C#m7]chance to make it [F#m7]big,
More than [D/E]once or [Am9]twice,
But no [Bbmaj7/C]dice;
She wasn't very [Eb9#11]nice.

[Ab/Am] Do do dodo do dodo,
[G/Am] Dodo [F#/Am] dodo [F/Am] do [E/Am] do.

Chorus 3:

I'm [F#maj7b5]too [Emaj7b5]high,
I'm [Dmaj7b5]too [Cmaj7b5]high,
[Bbmaj7b5] I can't ever [E7#9#5]touch the [Am9]sky.

I'm [F#maj7b5]too [Emaj7b5]high,
I'm [Dmaj7b5]so [Cmaj7b5]high,
I [Bbmaj7b5]feel like I'm a-[E7#9#5]bout to [Am9]die.

Verse 3:

[Am9] She's a girl of the past,
I [C#m7]guess that I got [F#m7]to her [D/E]at [Am9]last.
A did you [C#m7]hear the news,
