You Can Only Get So High - Richie Sambora
Tune the guitar Half-Step Down
Verse 1:
Am F
Hard time waking up this morning
C G
Closed the blinds so I can see
Am F
First light came without a warning
C G
And the sunrise scared the daylights out of me
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
C G Am F
Close to saving me
Chorus:
C
You can only get so high
G
Then you gotta come down
Am
Twisted in the clouds just like a kite
F
Fighting just to stay up in the sky
C
Flying in a freefall
G
Before you know it is your last call
Am Am/G D
I'll take one more drink and two packs of lights
Dm G
Drowning with the demons in disguise
C Am
You can only get so high
C Am
You can only get so high
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 Am
Endless limitations that I keep on gettin' by
F D
I guess I'll stop by sitting down with me, myself and I
G E7 Am D
I think it's best to leave my desperation to desire
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
