You Can Only Get So High - Richie Sambora

Tune the guitar Half-Step Down

Verse 1:
A minorAm              FF
  Hard time waking up this morning
C majorC               G+G
  Closed the blinds so I can see
A minorAm               FF
  First light came without a warning
      C majorC                  G+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 majorC  G+G  A minorAm  FF
  Close to saving me

Chorus:
         C majorC
  You can only get so high
          G+G
  Then you gotta come down
          A minorAm
  Twisted in the clouds just like a kite
           FF
  Fighting just to stay up in the sky
         C majorC
  Flying in a freefall
                G+G
  Before you know it is your last call
       A minorAm         Am/GAm/G     D MajorD
  I'll take one more drink and two packs of lights
           DmDm          G+G
  Drowning with the demons in disguise
         C majorC      A minorAm
  You can only get so high
         C majorC      A minorAm
  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+G              A minorAm
  Endless limitations that I keep on gettin' by
   FF                  D MajorD
  I guess I'll stop by sitting down with me, myself and I
    G+G         E7E7      A minorAm     D MajorD
  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
