   D5               G5
It used to seem to me
        D5               A5 A5
that my life ran on too fast
      D5              G5 
and I had to take it slowly
        D5                   A5 A5
just to make the good parts last
     D5                  G5
but when you're born to run
        D5                 A5 A5
it's so hard to just slow down
   D5                     G5
so don't be surprised to see me
        D5                   A5 A5
back in that bright part of town.


        D5           E5   D5 G5 D5 G5
I'll be back in the high life again
                D5 
all the doors I closed one time 
     A5 A5    D5     A5 A5
will open up again.
        D5           E5   D5 G5 D5 G5
I'll be back in the high life again
                  D5
all the eyes that watched me once
     A5      A5       D5     G5 D5
will smile and take me in.
         G5                    D5
And I'll drink and dance with one hand free.
A5                  D5
Let the world back into me
    G5            D5
and oh I'll be a sight to see
G5    D5  A5   D5    A5   D5    G5
back in the high life again.


You used to be the best
to make life be life to me
and I hope that you're still out there
and you're like you used to be
we'll have ourselves a time
and we'll dance till the morning sun
and we'll let the good times come in
and we won't stop till we're done.

We'll be back in the high life again
all the doors I closed one time 
will open up again.
we'll be back in the high life again
all the eyes that watched us once
will smile and take us in.
And we'll drink and dance with one hand free.
And have the world so easily
and oh we'll be sight to see
back in the high life again.

We'll be back in the high life again
all the doors I closed one time 
will open up again.
we'll be back in the high life again
all the eyes that watched us once
will smile and take us in.
And we'll drink and dance with one hand free.
And have the world so easily
and oh we'll be sight to see
back in the high life again.
