Bb C G Am
When I came down the dawn poured into me
Bb C G Am
I shook 'em up, the walls came crumbling
Bb C G Am
My thin skin trembling with these salty wounds
Bb C G Am
My stolen gold inside the emperors tomb
Bb C G Am
Now painting rainbows on my ugly face
Bb C G Am
I built this cardboard neighborhood's disgrace
Bb C G Am
But I ascend and serve my feverish need
Bb C G Am
Within the confines of such chemistry
F Bb
It's the way I see
Dm
Everything I need
C
It's the way to be
Bb F
Let this be our little secret
C Dm
No one needs to know we're feeling
Bb F
Higher and higher and higher
Bb Dm
Higher and higher and higher
Bb F
But I feel alive and I feel it in me
C Dm
up and up I keep on climbing
Bb F
Higher and higher and higher
C Dm
Higher and higher and higher
Bb C G Am
My face blew up at such a casual sight
Bb C G Am
The smattered colors of ecstatic fright
Bb C G Am
The rush above me to oblivion
Bb C G Am
Outlining wet sidewalks with halogen
Bb C G Am
Oh have you ever felt so goddamned strong?
Bb C G Am
How come it takes some people so damn long
Bb C G Am
He turned to squeeze the lemon juice to rain
Bb C G Am
The citrus drawing out the scene it stains
F Bb
Watch the basin drain
Dm
As your life lines wane
C
And you cant explain
Bb
As your friends complain
F Bb
You've caused all this pain
Dm
And you proudly shame
C
Your whole family's name
Bb F
Let this be our little secret
C Dm
No one needs to know we're feeling
Bb F
Higher and higher and higher
Bb Dm
Higher and higher and higher
Bb F
But I feel alive and I feel it in me
C Dm
up and up I keep on climbing
Bb F
Higher and higher and higher
C Dm
Higher and higher and higher
Bb F
Mother I can tell what you've been thinking
C
staring at the stars on your ceiling
C Dm
Thinking once there was a power that you were wielding
C
And now I've hit the mark
Am
Stabbing at the dark
Dm C Bb
And I cannot help but ignore the people staring at my scars
Bb F
Let this be our little secret
C Dm
No one needs to know we're feeling
Bb F
Higher and higher and higher
Bb Dm
Higher and higher and higher
Bb F
But I feel alive and I feel it in me
C Dm
up and up I keep on climbing
Bb F
Higher and higher and higher
C Dm
Higher and higher and higher
