Capo 1
[Intro]
Bm G D A
[Verse 1]
Bm G
Back again I'm holed up
D A
In the waiting room again
Bm G
Focused on the empty
D A
Getting underneath my skin
Bm F#m
How do I keep it?
Bm G
How do I keep it here?
[Verse 2]
Bm G
Look at how the time flies
D A
Burning daylight to the ground
Bm G
Wash away the ashes
D A
Gonna quiet my head down
Bm F#m
How do I keep it?
Bm G
How do I keep it here?
[Chorus]
D
'Cause I wanna get high
A
But you're keeping me low
Em
I don't got time to waste or time to kill
G
I've had too much to think
D
I wanna get high
A
But you're taking me down, down, down
Em
Don't got time to waste or time to kill
G
I've had too much to think
[Verse 3]
Bm G
Illuminate the shadow
D A
And try to keep the light within
Bm G
Avoid another battle
D A
And forget what might have been
Bm F#m
How do I keep it?
Bm G
How do I keep it here?
[Chorus]
D
'Cause I wanna get high
A
But you're keeping me low
Em
I don't got time to waste or time to kill
G
I've had too much to think
D
I wanna get high
A
But you're taking me down, down, down
Em
Don't got time to waste or time to kill
G
I've had too much to think
[Bridge]
D
Oh oh oh
A
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Em
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
G
I've had too much to think
[Break]
Bm G D A
[Verse 4]
Bm G
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of LA
D A
See the faces of the people as they run away
Bm G
It's a permanent made distraction, the modern reaction
D A
The people don't have to feel the dissatisfaction
Bm G
It's a slow journey up but a quick ride on down
D A
And nobody here knowing their way around
Bm G
From the top of the world every which way is down
D A
And who's gonna take the crown?
[Chorus]
D
'Cause I wanna get high
A
But you're keeping me low
Em
I don't got time to waste or time to kill
G
I've had too much to think
D
I wanna get high
A
But you're taking me down, down, down
Em
Don't got time to waste or time to kill
G
I've had too much to think
[Bridge]
D
Oh oh oh
A
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Em
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
G
I've had too much to think
