[Intro]
A    E


[Verse 1]
E                           A
The floor got up and hit my face
                          E
I couldn't make it to the door
                             A
I took a sip and drained the tap
                         E
And life became a finger snap
E
Aha


[Pre-Chorus]
  A
I couldn't understand it
   C
My days were in a daze
A
Is it bloody Sunday
           C      B
I'd better say my prayers
B
Oh yeah, oh yeah


[Chorus]
             A     G    E
And when the stars came down
      C               D        G
I was higher than the 4th of July
C               D         E
Blitzin' right across the sky
C     D     A
High, high, higher


[Interlude]
A  D  A  D  E


[Verse 2]
E                         A
"Believe the lies" I told myself
                     E
I wasn't into self denial, no way
                            A
I held my breath I count to ten
                     E
So turn around round round
E
And do it again


[Pre-Chorus]
  A
I couldn't understand it
   C
My life was all a blaze
A
Is it bloody Sunday
   C              B
My days were in a daze



[Chorus]
         A     G    E
When the stars came down
      C               D        G
I was higher than the 4th of July
C               D         E
Blitzin' right across the sky
C     D     A
High, high, higher


[Interlude]
A  D  A  D  A  D
A  D  A  D  A  D
A  D  A  D  A  D
A  D  A  D  A  D
A  D  A  D  A


[Bridge]
             D              A
And when the stars fell down
                    D               A
You know I' m gonna burn up the town
         D
It's the 4th of July
A         D            E
And I was getting so high

[Chorus]
         A     G    E
When the stars came down
      C               D        G
I was higher than the 4th of July
C               D         E
Blitzin' right across the sky
C     D     A
High, high, higher
