Chorus 1:

Verse 1:

She’s a girl in a dream,
She sees a four eyed,
Cartoon monster on the T.V [D/E]screen,
She takes a-nother puff and says;
“It’s a [D/E]crazy scene”,
That red is [Bbmaj7/C]green,
And she’s a tange-rine.

I’m [F#maj7b5]too [Emaj7b5]high,
I’m [Dmaj7b5]too [Cmaj7b5]high,
[Bbmaj7b5] But I ain’t left the ground.

I’m [F#maj7b5]too [Emaj7b5]high,
I’m [Dmaj7b5]too [Cmaj7b5]high,
[Bbmaj7b5] I hope I never, ever come down.

Verse 2:

She’s the girl in her life,
But her world’s a,
Super-ficial [D/E]para-dise.
She had a chance to make it big,
More than [D/E]once or twice,
But no [Bbmaj7/C]dice;
She wasn’t very nice.
