Hanging High by Lykke Li
Hanging High
INTRO
G
VERSE 1
G
Oh thunder in my heart, these razors cutting sharp
F#m
And leaves me with an ever bleeding scar
G
So soft, so suddenly, so that I cannot breathe
F#m
I'm drawn into a circle painted black
CHORUS
D F#m
Oh I'm hanging high, oh won't you let me down
Em A
I'm back where I started at, you know I'm a little lost
D F#m
An when it hurts the most, I'll push a little more
Em A
I'm back where I started at, you know I'm a little lost
VERSE 2
G
Like lightning in my heart, a kiss so burning hot
F#m
I'm hanging on a thread that's bound to drop
G
Like rain on open skies, don't know the reason why
F#m
But I'll always choose the black in front of white
Repeat CHORUS x2

Oh, thunder in my heart
These razors cutting sharp
And leaves me with an ever bleeding scar
So soft, so suddenly
So that I cannot breathe
I'm drawn into a circle painted black
Oh, I'm hanging high
Oh, won't you let me down?
Back where I started at
You know I'm a little lost
And when it hurts the most
I'll push a little more
I'm back where I started at
You know I'm a little lost
Like lightning in my heart
A kiss so burning hot
I'm hanging on a thread that's bound to drop
Like rain on open skies
Don't know the reason why
But I'll always choose the black in front of white
Oh, I'm hanging high
Oh, won't you let me down?
Back where I started at
You know I'm a little lost
And when it hurts the most
I'll push a little more
I'm back where I started at
You know I'm a little lost
Oh, I'm hanging high
Oh, won't you let me down?
Back where I started at
When it hurts the most
I'll push a little more
I'm back where I started at

version 3
Opening chord: Bm
A very simple melody to be plucked out over the vocals
#1
---------------|---------------|
---------------|---------------|
---------------|---------------|
---------------|---------------|
--------5------|---------------|
---3-------3---|---5------7----|
Play the above over the first two lines of the song, this same pattern is simply shifted
the neck throughout the song. Alternatively you can play the chords although due to the
simplicity of the song they are not strummed.
VERSE 1
G
Oh thunder in my heart, this razor's cutting sharp
Bm
And leaves me with an ever bleeding scar
#2
---------------|---------------|
---------------|---------------|
---------------|---------------|
---------------|---------------|
--------9------|---------------|
---7-------7---|---9-----10----|
Repeat the above line twice just after 'scar' and then return to the first pattern for
next lines:
#1
---------------|---------------|
---------------|---------------|
---------------|---------------|
---------------|---------------|
--------5------|---------------|
---3-------3---|---5------7----|
G
So soft, so suddenly, so that I cannot breathe
Bm
I'm drawn into a circle painted black
For the chorus (and if you're playing chords over the verse), enunciate each chord with
single downward stroke and let it ring. These chords may not be 100% but the reason
have had problems figuring them out is because the vocals drown them out a bit. I don't
if what I'm playing is Dsus or Dmaj7, but refer to the chord list at the bottom.
CHORUS
D
Oh I'm hanging high (oh im hanging high),
Dsus
Oh won't you let me down (Oh won't you let me down)
Dmaj7
I'm back where I started at, (back where i started at)
Dmaj7
you know I'm a little lost (y'know i'm a little lost)
D
And when it hurts the most, (when it hurts the most)
Dsus
I'll push a little more (push a little more)
Dmaj7
I'm back where I started at,(back where i started at)
Dmaj7
you know I'm a little lost
Repeat for the next verse and chorus, I believe the song finishes as it began, strumming
Bm until fadeout.

Oh, thunder in my heart
These razors cutting sharp
And leaves me with an ever bleeding scar
So soft, so suddenly
So that I cannot breathe
I'm drawn into a circle painted black
Oh, I'm hanging high
Oh, won't you let me down?
Back where I started at
You know I'm a little lost
And when it hurts the most
I'll push a little more
I'm back where I started at
You know I'm a little lost
Like lightning in my heart
A kiss so burning hot
I'm hanging on a thread that's bound to drop
Like rain on open skies
Don't know the reason why
But I'll always choose the black in front of white
Oh, I'm hanging high
Oh, won't you let me down?
Back where I started at
You know I'm a little lost
And when it hurts the most
I'll push a little more
I'm back where I started at
You know I'm a little lost
Oh, I'm hanging high
Oh, won't you let me down?
Back where I started at
When it hurts the most
I'll push a little more
I'm back where I started at
