You Can Only Get So High by Richie Sambora
You Can Only Get So High
G#m E
Hard time wake up this morning
B F#
Closed the blinds so I can see
G#m E
First light came without a warning
B F
Hit the sunrise, get the daylight it’s out of me
G#m E
Down seven times alone for breakfast
B F#
Chasing down where's last night cloudy memory
G#m E
Empty bottle preach the gospel
B F#
Another shot ain’t coming close to saving me
B
Close to saving me
B
You can only get so high
F#
Then you got a come down
G#m
Twisted in the clouds, just like a kite
E
Back in just despair up in the sky
B
Flying in the freehold
F#
Before you know it is your last call
G#m E
I'll take one more drink and two packs of love
E F#
Driving out the demons in the sky
B
You can only get so high
You can only get so high
Life was one long after party
My welcome was too long of a stay
The guitar sings the same old story
But they leave it out, got the bills of getting paid
You keep yourself 10 second chances
So I ain’t quitting I’m just leaving for a while
Ended like some many bad romances
One more picture left before you say goodbye
You can only get so high
Then you got a come down
Twisted in the clouds, just like a kite
Back in just despair up in the sky
Flying in the freehold
Before you know it is your last call
I'll take one more drink and two packs of love
Driving out the demons in the sky
You can only get so high
You can only get so high
F# G#m
Endless limitation that I keep on gettin' back
F# G#m
I guess I stopped by sitting down with me, myself and I
F# G G#m E
I think it's best to leave my desperation to desire
B
You can only get so high
F#
Then you got to come down
G#m
Twisted in the clouds, just like a kite
E
Back in despair up in the sky
B
Flying in the freehold
F#
Before you know it is your last call
G#m E
I'll take one more drink and two packs of love
B
You can only get so high
F#
Till your bottle melt a breakdown
G#m
You can only hurt so many times
E
Before the truth falls from the lie
B
Flying in the freehold
F#
Just before you hit the last one
G#m E
They only get one more chance and one last goodbye
F#
It took me a lifetime to realize
B
You can only get so high
B
You can only get so high
B
Then you got a come down
