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
