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
