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.

Solo:

Am9  E

Chorus 3:

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?

Interlude:

Bbm9  Bm9  Cm9  Bm9  Bbm9  Am9
                            They said she's...

Chorus 4:
