[Intro]
B5
[Chorus]
B5
I was higher than I wanted to be
B5
North Clark, second city
B5 C#5
These days I only wanna party with you
B5
And celebrate till the sun comes up
B5
Pour a little something in my coffee cup
B5 C#5
These days I only wanna party with you
E5 F#5 B5
These days I only wanna party with you
[Interlude]
N.C.
[Verse]
B5 C#5
Nothing good ever comes from
E5 B5
Closing down a 4am bar
B5 C#5
I used to think I cracked the code
E5 B5
But then I'd walk home and forget my coat
B5 C#5
You moved here a few weeks ago
E5 B5
You make me feel invincible
B5
So scared that I'll blow it
C#5
I hope I don't show it
E5 B5
Maybe I'm sort of a mess
[Pre-chorus]
D#5 E5
I've been cleaning myself up off the floor
B5 G#5
Better than ever before
C#m
I'm shaking to the core
[Chorus]
B5
I was higher than I wanted to be
B5
Hope I wasn't making a fool out of me
B5 C#5
These days I only wanna party with you
B5
The back booth or the bar again
B5
With all my friends all crammed in
B5 C#5
These days I only wanna party with you
E5 F#5
These days I only wanna party with you
[Solo]
B5 C#5 E5 B5 x2
[Verse]
B5 C#5
Nightcap on the fire escape
E5 B5
We'll slow down we swear one day
B5 C#5
We'll settle in to the lives we'll make
E5 B5
When we're damn well ready
[Pre-chorus]
D#5 E5
But til then, I'll be a butterfly
B5
You be a swatter
G#5
We'll be perfect and tragic
C#m
And desperate for each other
[Chorus]
B5
I'm always higher than I want to be
B5
So much higher than I want to be
B5
I'm always higher than I want to be
C#5
In the second city
B5
I'm always higher than I want to be
B5
So much higher than I want to be
B5
I'm always higher than I want to be
C#5
In the second city
[Outro]
B5
