THIS IS HOW (WE WANT YOU TO GET HIGH). (George Michael)
CAPO on 3rd fret
[Intro]
Em D
So you raise another glass
B7 Em
Looking for a different space
Em D
I was leaning on the grass
A Em
Dreaming of a sunnier day
Em D
Oh, it never came
B7 Em
How could it have, baby?
Em D
Where the present meets the past
A
It's hard to be more than we've seen
[Verse 1]
Em Em
Your daddy was a drinker
Bm Am
Just kept drinking 'til the jokes
Em
He was thinking sounded true
Em
Your mama was a thinker
D6 Am
She just wasn't thinking on the day
Em
That she looked at him and said "I do"
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
'Cause I will always, I will always
Bm
I will always, I will always
Am Em
Try to get my life together
Em Bm
I guess we always, guess we always knew
Am
That it would be stormy weather
[Chorus]
Em
This is how we want you to get high
Bm
The way that we showed you
Am
The way that we told you was decent
Em
This is how we want you to get high
D6 Am
This is how we want you to get by
[Verse 2]
Em Em
My daddy was a toker
Bm Am
Just kept smoking 'til the jokes
Em
He could tell got very blue
Em
My mama was a joker
D6 Am
If she was a hippy then I guess
Em
She was tripping on a high love you
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
'Cause I will always, I will always
Bm
I will always, I will always
Am Em
Try to get my life together
Em Bm
I guess we always, guess we always knew
Am
That it would be stormy weather
[Chorus]
Em Em
This is how we want you to get high
Bm
The way that we showed you
Am
The way that we told you was decent
Em Em
This is how we want you to get high
D6 Am
This is how we want you to get by
[Post-Chorus]
Em Em
On your sorry lives
Bm Am Em Em Bm Am
(Take another, take another)
[Bridge]
Em Em
I never picked a fight in my life
Bm
Or raised a hand to my wife
Am
Or saw my children as a thing to bully
Em Em
I never dropped a pill in a drink
Bm
I know how low you can sink my heart
Am
My heart is better than that
[Bridge]
Em Em
I never picked a fight in my life
Bm
Or raised a hand to my wife
Am
Or saw my children as a thing to bully
Em Em
I never dropped a pill in a drink
Bm
I know how low you can sink my heart
Am Em D Bm
My heart is better than that
[Outro]
C Em D Bm
Looking for a different space
C Em D
Dreaming of a sunnier day
Bm

C Em D

Bm
Where the present meets the past
C Em D Bm
It's hard to be more than we've seen
C Em D Bm C
It's hard to be more than we've seen
