High flying, adored
G Bm C D7
1. High flying, adored, so young, the instant
queen,
G Bm C D7
a rich
beautiful thing, of all the talents a cross between a
F C D7
fantasy of the bedroom and a saint.
Am C
And
you were just a back street girl,
D
C
hustling and fighting, scratching and biting.
2. High flying, adored, did you believe in your
wildest moments,
G Bm C D7 G
all
this would be yours, that you`d become the lady of them all?
F D7 G
Were
there stars in your eyes when you crawled in at night,
F D7 Bm Em
- Bm - Em
from
the bars, from the sidewalks, from the gutter theatrical?
C G Am C
F - D
Don`t
look down, it`s a long, long way to fall.
3. High flying, adored, what happens now, where
do you go from here?
G Bm C D7
For
someone on top of the world, the view is not exactly clear,
F C D7
a
shame you did it all at twenty-six.
Am C D C
There
are no myst`ries now, nothing can thrill you, no one fulfill you.
4. High flying, adored, I hope you come to
terms with boredom.
G Bm C D7 G
So
famous, so easily, so soon, is not the wisest thing to be.
F D7 G
You
won`t care if they love you, it`s been done before,
F D7 Bm Em
You`ll
despair if they hate you, you`ll be drained of all energy,
C G Am C
F - D
all
the young, who`ve made it would agree.
5. High flying, adored, I´ve been called names,
but they`re the strangest,
G Bm C D7 G
my
story`s quite usual, local girl, makes good, weds famous man.
F D7 G
I was
slap in the right place at the perfect time,
F D7 Bm Am - Bm - Em
filled
the gap, I was lucky, but one thing I`ll say for me
C G Am
C G
no one
else can fill it like I can.
