High[G] flying, adored, [Bm]so young, the[C] instant queen[D7]
a rich[G] beautiful thing, [Bm]of all the talents a [C]cross between [D7]a
[F]fantasy of the bedroom [C]and a saint[D7]
And[Am] you were just a back street [C]girl,
[D]hustling and fighting, scratching and[C] biting.
[G]High flying, adored, [Bm]did you believe[C] in your wildest moments[D7],
[G]all this would be yours, [Bm]that you`d become the lady[C] of them all[D7] [G]?
[F]Were there stars in[D7] your eyes when you crawled in at [G]night,
[F]from the bars, from [D7]the sidewalks, from the gutter [Bm]theatrical[Em] [Bm] [Em]?
[C]Don`t look down, [G]it`s a long, long[Am] way to fall[C] [F] [D].
[G]High flying, adored[Bm], what happens [C]now, where do you go from here[D7]?

[F]a shame you did it all [C]at twenty-six[D7].
[Am]There are no mysteries now[C], nothing can thrill [D]you, no one fulfill you[C].
[G]High flying, adored, [Bm]I hope you [C]come to terms with boredom[D7].
[G]So famous, so easily[Bm], so soon, [C]is not the wisest thing[D7] to be[G].

[F]You`ll despair if[D7] they hate you, you`ll be [Bm]drained of all energy[Em],
[C]all the young[G], who`ve made it would[Am] agree [C] [F] [D].
[G]High flying, [Bm]adored, I´ve been called names, [C]but they`re the strangest[D7],
[G]my story`s [Bm]quite usual, local [C]girl, makes good[D7], weds famous man[G].
I was slap in[F] the right [D7]place at the perfect time[G],

[C]no one else [G]can fill it[Am] like [C]I can[G].
