 Paper Tongues - Get Higher

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

 
 I broke this down to strum it on an acoustic, thus the actual song plays out a little
 differently. The progressions are the same, though, so it's pretty easy to fret out on an
 electric. This version is a little cleaner to play on your own---pretty simple.
 
 A (x02220)
 Asus4 (x02230)
 D (xx0232)
 E (022100)
 F#m (244222) 
   
 The main riff is an Amaj with a pinky drop to the suspended fourth every now and again.
 It's pretty much the whole song...

 NOTE: The actual verses are almost entirely this A progression, but it lacks depth when
 you're playing it alone on the acoustic. I like to throw around the F#m when it feels
 natural, as below, and palm mute until the chorus:
 
          A                                             
 When you step in the room they won't be holding me down
           F#m                                              
 All these demons in my head c'mon let's kill 'em with sound
             A                                               
 You see I'm beggin' that you take me and you never look back
                F#m                                      
 That's why I'm crying to a wall hoping that you come out
 
 A                                    
 Hey...I don't wanna wake up from this
                          F#m 
 I cannot afford to forget
 
 The feeling of your arms, they hold me
                                    A 
 The power of your skin, it's lovely
 
 You provoke a man to bow down
                              F#m 
 I get on my knees and cry out
                             E   
 "Everything I have is yours now"
 
                D  
 So the time is now
              E   
 Don't let me down
                D  
 Oh the time is now
                     E   
 Please don't let me down
 
 Chorus:
     A                      Asus4  F#m 
 Get higher, and higher, and higher
         D                  A   
 When my back's against the wall
            D                   A   
 You're the hand that breaks my fall
                              Asus4  F#m 
 Climb higher, and higher, and higher
         D                  A   
 When my back's against the wall
            D                   A   
 You're the hand that breaks my fall
 
 ***Lather, rinse, repeat
