B G You can scream like a banshee and still nothing comes B G You can buy a heart balloon and watch the sky grow dull B G E I've said it all before, I am ready for the high B G 'Cause nothing works worse than the weekend fix B G I put the money in the slots and then they fell to bits B G E I've said it all before, I am ready for the high [Chorus] B I'm ready for the high life D A kiss without a fistfight F#m A bang without the dynamite E A place I want to stay B I always think in extremes D I should be thinking moon beams A I should be pulling you close to me E And not explaining why I am ready for the high [Verse 2] B G Maybе Generation X are thе chosen ones B G They've got everything they need beneath their aching thumbs B G E I'll say it all again, I am ready for the high B G Because underneath the low, there's a lower part B G A place I only like to go to when we come apart B G E I'll say it all again, I am ready for the high [Chorus] B I'm ready for the high life D A kiss without a fistfight F#m A bang without the dynamite E A place I want to stay B I always think in extremes D I should be thinking moon beams A I should be pulling you close to me E And not explaining why E I am ready for the high E I am ready for the high E [Chorus] B I'm ready for the high life D A kiss without a fistfight F#m A bang without the dynamite E A place I want to stay B I always think in extremes D I should be thinking moon beams A I should be pulling you close to me E And not explaining why I am ready for the high [Instrumental] B D F#m E B D A E [Chorus] B I'm ready for the high life D A kiss without a fistfight F#m A bang without the dynamite E A place I want to stay B I always think in extremes D I should be thinking moon beams A I should be pulling you close to me E And not explaining why E I am ready for the high] E (I am ready for the high) [Outro] E I am ready for the high
