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

A kiss without a fistfight

A place I want to stay

I always think in extremes

I should be thinking moon beams
