Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu “Just to Get High” dari Nickelback:
[Verse 1]
Dm Am F C
He was my best friend I tried to help him
F Dm
But he traded everything for suffering
C Dm
And found himself alone
Am F C
I watched the lying turn into hiding
F Dm
With scars on both his lips his fingertips
C
Were melted to the bone
[Chorus]
Bb Gm
But I can still remember what his face looked like
Bb C
When I found him in an alley in the middle of the night
N.C.
Tell me what you know! Tell me what you gone and done now!
Dm Dm
Tell me what you know! Tell me what you gone and done now!
Gm F
A gun would do the trick get it over with
Dm
You're better off
Bb C
To take all you've got and burn it on the spot
Gm F
To get high-igh igh igh (high-igh igh igh)
[Verse 2]
Dm Am F C
Three days no sleeping he gave up eating
F Dm
He sold his mother's rings she said nothing
C Dm
And pretended not to know
Am F C
He started stealing to supply the feeling
F Dm
Found out he pulled a knife on someone's wife
C
And held it to her throat
[Ulangi Chorus]
[Solo]
