Intro:    Bm, D (2x)
 
 D  
    She used to get her fix 
 Bm                           A                             G 
    Just one little kiss or a touch could send her over the edge 
 D                                          Bm 
    I'd keep her up making love all night,      had the stuff to make her feel alright 
    A                              G 
But now she won't go near that ledge 
 
(Chorus) 
 
              G                              D 
She don't get high anymore, I don't make her fly like before 
    Em                                   A 
Her heart is out there soaring somewhere else 
            G                               D 
I'm not the song that she sings, or I can't give her those wings 
     Em                             A 
Hard as I try I'm not the sky she's looking for 
              G             D 
She don't get high anymore  
 
 
D                  Bm 
   I remember when,   she used to breathe me in 
     A                      G 
Back then she couldn't get enough 
D                                      Bm 
   We'd lay looking up at the clouds,      I thought we'd never come down 
    A                                  G 
She said my love was like some kind of drug 
 
 
 
 
(Chorus) 
 
              G                              D 
She don't get high anymore, I don't make her fly like before 
    Em                                   A 
Her heart is out there soaring somewhere else 
                G                               D 
Oh, I'm not the dream that she dreams, I can't give her those wings 
     Em                             A 
Hard as I try I'm not the sky she's looking for 
              G             Bm   G   D 
She don't get high anymore 
 
 
 
 
                G                               D 
Oh, I'm not the song that she sings, or I can't give her those wings 
     Em                             A 
Hard as I try I'm not the sky she's looking for 
              Bm             D 
She don't get high anymore  
              Bm             D 
She don't get high anymore 
              Bm             D 
She don't get high,       anymore 
              Bm             D 
She don't get high 
              Bm             D     Bm   D 
She don't get high        anymore 
                  Bm         D     Bm   D   Bm   D 
Oh, she don't get high    anymore
