                D5      F5
I think I'm tryin' too hard
                      E5     G5
Wish I didn't have to try so hard
                  D5       F5
I wish it came to me like air
                      G5
Without a worry or a care
                             C5
I would have told you everything
 C5                       E5
And like a bell my voice would ring
                           D5      F5
And in the echo you would hear
                                      G5
The mutter of one thousand fears
                                           A5
I've become taken with the high road
G5                                 A5        
No I won't reap a thing I don't sew
G5                                  D5
I'll build a bridge or I'll just swim it
           F5            F5   E5  D5  C5
I will, i will,         in a New York minute
G5                  D5                      F5
    He pushed her down on her luck
                               E5     G5
And why would she leave, she's already down
                                   D5   F5
And how could she leave him now
                                  G5
Finally agreed to settle down
                                              C5
She could have said just what she meant
C5                          E5
And dear dawn do never relent
                        D5
It seems so easy to forget
F5                                 G5   
 You don't have to live with regret
                                A5
I've become taken with the high road
G5                                 A5
   No I won't reap a thing I don't sew
G5                                    D5
I'll build a bridge or I'll just swim it
      F5                 F5  E5  D5  C5
I will, i will,            in a New York minute
G5            D5    F5       E5          G5    
      How did you go so far without your heart?
    D5    F5                  E5              G5
I know it's hard but you gotta do your part
     D5                  F5     G5
I'm through with short cuts

                                     A5
I've become taken with the high road
G5                                    A5
    No I won't reap a thing I don't sew
G5                                    D5
I'll build a bridge or I'll just swim it
       F5
I will, I will
