verse 1 
            C             A              C                A 
You don't have to be so cautious if you practice what you preach 
C               A             C          Dm      G      A 
Counting up the stacks on the counter, a fucking disease 
       C            A               C                 A 
Don't ask me to be righteous if you practice what you teach 
C                 A          C                Dm                F 
Counting all your blessings the second you're down on your knees 

F 
So why, why 
                      A     Em 
Don't we get a little high, high? 

F A 

Post-Chorus 
A                                  G   F A 
Don't we get a little, get a little 
A 
Don't we get a little high 
             G       C  A 
Get a little high, high 

verse 2 
A       C              A           C             A 
Keep my head under the water, pride buried in my chest 
    C                A            C            Dm               A 
Not counting all the minutes, the seconds, not holdin' my breath 
A   C                A        Dbm            A 
Now sinking from the surface, swimming in my lungs 
C             A       C            Dm 
Losing all my vision, religion, I'm holding my tongue 

Dm F 
So why, why 
                      A      Em 
Don't we get a little high, high? 

Dm A 

Post-Chorus 
A                                  G   C A 
Don't we get a little, get a little 
A 
Don't we get a little high 
             G          A 
Get a little high, high 

Bridge 
A               Dm                               F  A 
Don't wanna pay attention to the writing on the wall 
A            Dm                                 F  Dm A 
Painted with aggression, and dripping when you call 
A                            Dm                A 
Not gonna learn my lesson, am I running out of time? 
A              C Dm  A 
So, why, why, why? 

Post-Chorus 
A                                  G   F A 
Don't we get a little, get a little 
A 
Don't we get a little high 
             G 
Get a little high, high
