How High is High Enough (Minglewood/MacDonald)

Intro G 

Verse 1
G
He was a boy from a steel town
    Eb       F        G
He soon had a look in his eye
G                   F                  Eb
Not the look of child but the wild look of fury
               F            G
Like an animal caught in the wire


G
School was the streets of town
      Eb       F             G
His lessons he learned with his fists
G               F           Eb 
Not a mean man he just felt all alone
                 F       G
Like a wolf on a hill in a mist


G
Fast cars, new friends and machismo
Eb      F           G
Drove him away from his past
G                   F             Eb 
Running from the law, running from himself
                            D
An outlaw who lived life to fast


Chorus
G         C   G 
How high is high enough
G           C  G
How low can a body go
G       Bm         C
How deep before you know 
D
When you're having too much fun
D
Don't you know when you're on the run
D
And you're living under the gun
G         C   G
How high is high enough

After Chorus
G
Eb F G  x 4

Verse
G
When does a man know he is alone
   Eb           F   G  
Who does he see in the mirror
G
Where did he go wrong and could we have helped
  Eb        F     G
Why does it feel he's here
G
Maybe someday we will learn from the past
   Eb             F       G
From those who have gone on before
G       F    Eb                                                              
That way his life will not have been a waste
                               D
And the good won't die young anymore

Repeat Chorus

End Fade 
  G                 C           G
