                           Paper Tongues - Get Higher
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I broke this down to strum it on an acoustic, thus the actual song plays out a little 
differently.  The progressions are the same, though, so it's pretty easy to fret out on an 
electric.  This version is a little cleaner to play on your own---pretty simple.

      Asus4(x02230)
          D(xx0232)
          E(022100)
        F#m(244222)
The main riff is an Amaj with a pinky drop to the suspended fourth every now and again.  
It's pretty much the whole song...

NOTE: The actual verses are almost entirely this A progression, but it lacks depth when 
you're playing it alone on the acoustic.  I like to throw around the F#m when it feels 
natural, as below, and palm mute until the chorus:
When you Astep in the room they won't be holding me down
All these F#mdemons in my head c'mon let's kill 'em with sound
You see I'm Abeggin' that you take me and you never look back
That's why I'm F#mcrying to a wall hoping that you come out
AHey...I don't wanna wake up from this
I cannot afford to forgetF#m  
The feeling of your arms, they hold me
The power of your skin, it's lovelyA  
You provoke a man to bow down
I get on my knees and cry outF#m  
"Everything I have is yours Enow"
So the time is Dnow
Don't let me Edown
Oh the time is Dnow
Please don't let me Edown
Chorus:
Get Ahigher, and higher, and Asus4higherF#m  
When my Dback's against the Awall
You're the Dhand that breaks my Afall
Climb higher, and higher, and Asus4higherF#m  
When my Dback's against the Awall
You're the Dhand that breaks my Afall
