Can’t (G6)dig my self out of this (Am)high est ditch,

this (Fmaj7)mad ness.

I (G)swear some times, I can’t tell which (F)way is up, which way is down.

It’s (G)all up in my face; need to push it a way, some bod y (F)push it a way, so all that I can hear

is a sim ple song.

Sing a long, now.

La la la la la,

La la la la la,

(Am)Mid day sun beat ing (G6)on the con crete, burn ing (Fmaj7)up my feet.

Too man y (G6)cars on the street.

The noise, the red, the green (Fmaj7)makes me wan na scream.

Five o’ clock now; it’s (Am)bump er on bump er on (G6)bump er, horns honk in’; No bod y’s look in’, but ev ’ry bod y’s talk in’.

Just an (Am)oth er day

on this (Fmaj7)high way.
