[Verse 1]
It [D]used to seem to [G]me
That my [D]life ran on [A]too fast
And I [D]had to take [G]it slowly
Just to [D]make the good [A]parts last
But [D]when you're born to [G]run
It's so [D]hard to just [A]slow down
So [D]don't be surprised [G]to see me
Back [D]in that bright part [A]of town

[Chorus 1]
I'll be [D]back in [Em]the high life ag[F#m]ain
[G]All the doors I clo[D]sed one time
[A]Will open up agai[D]n[A]
I'll be [D]back in [Em]the high life ag[F#m]ain
[G]All the eyes that wat[D]ched me once
[A]Will smile and take me [D]in
And I'll [G]drink and dance [D]with one hand free
[A]Let the world [D]back into me
And [G]oh I'll be [D]a sight to see
[F#m]Back in t[Em]he hi[A]gh life again

Girl you [D]used to be the [G]best
To make [D]life be life to [A]me

And you're [D]like you used to [A]be
We'll [D]have ourselves a [G]time
And we'll [D]dance till the morning [A]sun
And we'll [D]let the good [G]times come in
And we [D]won't stop till [A]we're done
