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.
G Bm C D7
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.
G Bm C D7
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.
G Bm C D7
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.
G Bm C D7
3. 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.
