This Is How We Want You To Get High

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
Oh, it never came
    C                Em D
How could it have, baby?
                            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
