You Can Only Get So High - Richie Sambora
Tune the guitar Half-Step Down
Verse 1:
[Am] Hard time waking up this m[F]orning
[C] Closed the blinds so I can s[G]ee
[Am] First light came without a w[F]arning
And the s[C]unrise scared the daylights out of m[G]e
Verse 2:
Downed seven Tylenols for breakfast
Chased it down with last night's cloudy memory
Empty bottle preach the gospel
Another shot ain't coming close to saving me
Close to saving m[C]e [G][Am][F]
Chorus:
You can only g[C]et so high
Then you gotta c[G]ome down
Twisted in the cl[Am]ouds just like a kite
Fighting just to st[F]ay up in the sky
Flying in a fr[C]eefall
Before you know it is your l[G]ast call
I'll take [Am]one more drink and t[Am/G]wo packs of l[D]ights
Drowning with the d[Dm]emons in disguise[G]
You can only g[C]et so high [Am]
You can only g[C]et so high [Am]
Verse 3:
Life was one long after party
My welcome was too long of a stay
The good times sing the same old story
But they leave it out how the bill is getting paid
Verse 4:
You keep yourself 10 second chances
Say I ain't quitting, I'm just splitting for a while
Ended like some many bad romances
One more victory lap before you say goodbye
Chorus;
Bridge:
[G]Endless limitations that I k[Am]eep on gettin' by
I g[F]uess I'll stop by sitting down with m[D]e, myself and I
I th[G]ink it's best to l[E7]eave my desper[Am]ation to des[D]ire
Chorus;
Chorus 2:
You can only get so high
Till you're bottom of a breakdown
You can only hurt so many times
Before the truth falls from the lie
Flying in the freefall
Just before you hit the last wall
You're only getting one more chance and one last goodbye
It took a lifetime to realize
You can only get so high
You can only get so high
Then you got a come down
Then you got a come down
Tune the guitar Half-Step Down
