Capo 1

[Intro]
Bm G D A

[Verse 1]
Bm             G
Back again I'm holed up
       D             A
In the waiting room again
Bm             G
Focused on the empty
        D             A
Getting underneath my skin
Bm            F#m
How do I keep it?
Bm               G
How do I keep it here?


[Verse 2]
Bm              G
Look at how the time flies
        D               A
Burning daylight to the ground
Bm            G
Wash away the ashes
      D             A
Gonna quiet my head down
Bm            F#m
How do I keep it?
Bm               G
How do I keep it here?


[Chorus]
                   D
'Cause I wanna get high
                      A
But you're keeping me low
            Em 
I don't got time to waste or time to kill
             G
I've had too much to think
            D
I wanna get high
                      A
But you're taking me down, down, down
          Em
Don't got time to waste or time to kill
             G
I've had too much to think


[Verse 3]
Bm             G
Illuminate the shadow
           D                  A
And try to keep the light within 
Bm            G
Avoid another battle
       D                   A
And forget what might have been
Bm            F#m
How do I keep it?
Bm               G
How do I keep it here?


[Chorus]
                   D
'Cause I wanna get high
                      A
But you're keeping me low
            Em 
I don't got time to waste or time to kill
             G
I've had too much to think
            D
I wanna get high
                      A
But you're taking me down, down, down
          Em
Don't got time to waste or time to kill
             G
I've had too much to think


[Bridge]
D
Oh oh oh
         A
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
         Em
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
             G
I've had too much to think


[Break]
Bm G D A

[Verse 4]
     Bm                             G
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of LA
        D                           A
See the faces of the people as they run away
       Bm                              G
It's a permanent made distraction, the modern reaction
    D                             A
The people don't have to feel the dissatisfaction
       Bm                    G
It's a slow journey up but a quick ride on down
    D                   A
And nobody here knowing their way around
         Bm                     G
From the top of the world every which way is down
    D                    A
And who's gonna take the crown?


[Chorus]
                   D
'Cause I wanna get high
                      A
But you're keeping me low
            Em 
I don't got time to waste or time to kill
             G
I've had too much to think
            D
I wanna get high
                      A
But you're taking me down, down, down
          Em
Don't got time to waste or time to kill
             G
I've had too much to think


[Bridge]
D
Oh oh oh
         A
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
         Em
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
             G
I've had too much to think
