Biography:
Paper Tongues plays for the people. Fusing massive rock n' roll melodies with fiery hip hop beats, the Charlotte band conjures an infectious, incendiary sound on their A&M/Octone debut, due out this summer. Embracing elements of rock, funk, rap and soul, these seven individuals have created something you haven't heard before. It's music for dancing, crying, loving and living. Paper Tongues—Aswan North, Devin Forbes, Cody Blackler, Joey Signa, Clayton Simon

Paper Tongues - Get Higher
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I broke this down to strum it on an acoustic, thus the actual song plays out a little
differently. The progressions are the same, though, so it's pretty easy to fret out on an
electric. This version is a little cleaner to play on your own---pretty simple.
A (x02220)
Asus4 (x02230)
D (xx0232)
E (022100)
F#m (244222)
The main riff is an Amaj with a pinky drop to the suspended fourth every now and again.
It's pretty much the whole song...

NOTE: The actual verses are almost entirely this A progression, but it lacks depth when
you're playing it alone on the acoustic. I like to throw around the F#m when it feels
natural, as below, and palm mute until the chorus:
A
When you step in the room they won't be holding me down
F#m
All these demons in my head c'mon let's kill 'em with sound
A
You see I'm beggin' that you take me and you never look back
F#m
That's why I'm crying to a wall hoping that you come out
A
Hey...I don't wanna wake up from this
F#m
I cannot afford to forget
The feeling of your arms, they hold me
A
The power of your skin, it's lovely
You provoke a man to bow down
F#m
I get on my knees and cry out
E
"Everything I have is yours now"
D
So the time is now
E
Don't let me down
D
Oh the time is now
E
Please don't let me down
Chorus:
A Asus4 F#m
Get higher, and higher, and higher
D A
When my back's against the wall
D A
You're the hand that breaks my fall
Asus4 F#m
Climb higher, and higher, and higher
D A
When my back's against the wall
D A
You're the hand that breaks my fall
***Lather, rinse, repeat
