verse 1
D G D Asus4
It used to seem to me that my life ran on too fast,
D G D Asus4
1) and I had to take it slowly just to make the good parts last
D G D Asus4
1) But when you're born to run it's so hard to just slow down,
D G D Asus4
1) so don't be surprised to see me back in that bright part of town
Chorus
D Em D/F#
I'll (We’ll) be back in the high life again,
G D/A Asus4 D Dsus4
all the doors I (we) closed one time, will open up again
D Em D/F#
I'll (We’ll) be back in the high life again,
G D/A A D
all the eyes that watched me (us) once, will smile and take me (us) in
G D
And I'll (We’ll) drink and dance with one hand free;
A D G D
let the world back into me (us), and oh I'll (we’ll) be a sight to see;
Asus4 A D
back in the high life again
